She received a breakthrough in her career after featuring alongside Allu Arjun in the 2004 Telugu film Arya in an item number for the song "Aa Ante Amalapuram". The success led to further offers for the actress in similar roles.[ citation needed ] She played her first lead role in the 2005 Telugu comedy Hungama appearing alongside Ali and Venu Madhav and signed on to shoot for thirty days after the director Krishna Reddy convinced her with the role. The actress won the Nandi Award for Best Female Comedian for her role in Paisalo Paramatma, her biggest recognition til date. [4]
