You may be right Dinesh ji, I think it is *Mussaenda tomentosa*. I remember some collection (by Dr. Ravikumar and/or Dr. D.Narasimhan) from the same locality. Also check in Flora of Tamilnadu Carnatic. It is an endemic species.
Thanks for the beautiful photos Raghu ji! Pl confirm the id and tell us.
