The year 2006 marked the turning point in her South Indian film career; in early 2006 she made two Telugu movies, “Happy” and “Raam” and then “Bommarillu,” which was a super-hit. In the same year, she also made a Tamil film called ‘Chennai Kadha.’
Five years later, in 2008, she returned to Bollywood with the movie “Mere Baap Pehle Aap,” which failed at the box office.
