Elsa George, better known by her stage name Muktha in the Malayalam film industry and by Bhanu in the Tamil film industry, is an Indian film actress. She is also a classical dancer and an entrepreneur.
Muktha started her career as a child artist when she was in class six. She acted in television serials such as Swaram (on Amrita TV) and then switched to the film industry. Her first film, Lal Jose's Achanurangatha Veedu, released in 2005, when Muktha was doing her 8th standard. She was seen as Lisamma in the film and The Hindu wrote "It's perhaps one of the most enduring female roles in modern Malayalam cinema".

In 2013, she signed her first Kannada film, Darling, directed by Santhu where she starred opposite Yogi.
