Her second Telugu film that year was "Prema Panjaram," though both initial ventures did not achieve commercial success. Her career took a significant turn when legendary director Bharathiraja cast her in the Tamil film "Nadodi Thendral" (also known as "Nadodi Mannan"), which provided her a strong platform in the industry.
She made her official Tamil film debut in the 1992 Bharathiraja film "Nadodi Thendral" starring Karthik.
