Mahanandi, which was an unsuccessful venture. In 2006, she had four releases, the first being
S. S. Rajamouli's
Vikramarkudu opposite
Raviteja, in which she portrayed the character Neeraja Goswami. The film went on to become very successful and got her much recognition, that eventually made her very popular in
Andhra Pradesh.
[4][5] She next had starred in the film
Astram, a remake of the 1999 Hindi film
Sarfarosh, following which she debuted in the
Tamil film industry, acting in the
Sundar C.-directed action flick

A. R. Murugadoss' directorial debut in Telugu,
Stalin.
Her first release in 2007 was
