Published 05/15/2024, 2:02 AM EDT

With Never Have I Ever, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan etched her name on the upper echelons of Tinseltown as a Netflix debut. But having bid her farewell to the screens following the show’s conclusion, Ramakrishnan, presently, is calling for a spotlight on her talent next door by giving voice to some beautiful renditions of popular tracks. Her most recent addition to her repertoire came in the form of a spot-on rendition of a track from Anastasia, and fans appear beyond captivated by her synchronization with it.

There is no one door to approach art at its finest and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan has well understood this. Hence, treating fans not through her on-screen portrayals but sonic qualities, this time, a clip recording her soulful rendition of Liz Callaway's ‘Journey to the Past’ from Anastasia has been circulating widely on socials including X. While fans were already enamored by her acting prowess, as evidenced in Never Have I Ever throughout its run, they seemed to be even more wooed by her singing talent.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan has globally impacted with her entry in the Netflix catalog with Never Have I Ever. Following her Netflix debut, she has voiced in quite a few animated movies and projects like Turning Red, My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale, and Big Mouth. Although fans would have barely gripped her intense vocal and singing qualities back then, with the cover now out, the reasons behind the casting calls make all the more sense.

Up until now, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan had kept the most significant aspects of her talent under wraps. However, with her recent cover of a song from Anastasia closely following American rapper Saweetie's praise for the actress at this year's Gold Gala, it appears her involvement with music and artists predates what fans previously knew.

Many fans who struggled to pronounce Ramakrishnan's name were yet again at a loss for words. However, this time, it was because of her hidden musical prowess. Others marveled at how her cover perfectly captured the essence of the original.

Some were so impressed by her skills that they could not help but suggest casting her in a Disney film. While her suitability for a Disney movie remains uncertain, she is undeniably a standout choice for period dramas, and with Netflix's The Netherfield Girls, those wishes might just come true in broken sorts. Even though this project may not showcase Ramakrishnan's musical abilities, it marks her first-ever film debut. Hence, fans might have another scope at being spellbound as Ramakrishnan has just begun her journey to the future.
