Other than the Musa X pradisiaca, there are only 2 species recorded from South India...Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana and there is another one from Musaceae i.e. Ensete... this doesnt look like Ensete...but it is difficult to be sure with this picture... would be great if you can send some pictures of flowers or fruits or even Seed if possible...
