Debut and initial struggle (2005–2008)
Anushka made her acting debut in Puri Jagannadh's 2005 Telugu film Super, where she featured alongside Akkineni
اردو Nagarjuna and Ayesha Takia. IndiaGlitz said "The two girls, Ayesha and Anushka, are cool and chic. Their angles and
Vepsän kel’ curves provide all the glamour and keep you engrossed. What about their acting? Well, they are in this film for it."[9] and
Sify stated, "The sexy girls Ayesha and Anushka show off their bodies." [10] The same year, she acted in another film

Maha Nandi, opposite Srihari and Sumanth. IndiaGlitz said, "Anushka looks comely ---and that is what she seems to be
in for." but added, "The script has been stitched and the seams look frayed."[11] Sify stated that it "starts promisingly
with a racy first half but goes awry and the tempo slackens post interval." and added, "Anushka looks ravishing thanks
to Vasu’s camera which is a major plus for the film."[12]
In 2006, she had four releases, the first being S. S. Rajamouli's Vikramarkudu, where she was paired with Ravi Teja.
The film went on to become very successful and got her much recognition, making her very popular in Telangana and
Andhra Pradesh.[13][14] Kishore of Nowrunning.com said "The high points of the movie are the flawless acting of
Raviteja and the lusciousness of Anushka. Raviteja has got all the ingredients that an actor should have and Anushka
has all the assets to that a woman ought to have."[15] and Sify said that Anushka "is definitely a highlight." [16]
She next 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 Rendu, sharing screen space with R. Madhavan. Later that
year, she made a special appearance alongside Mega star Chiranjeevi in A. R. Murugadoss' directorial debut in
Telugu, Stalin.
Her first release in 2007 was Lakshyam which was a success in box office, after which she starred in Raghava
Lawrence's Don opposite Nagarjuna again. The former, in particular, succeeded at the box office. [17] In 2008 she had
appeared in six films. Okka Magaadu was the first release, in which she played one of three female leads. Nandamuri
Balakrishna was the actor opposite her in Okka Magaadu. Her next releases Swagatam alongside Jagapati Babu and
Bhumika Chawla and Baladur opposite Ravi Teja garnered poor reviews and box office returns.[18][19] She next
appeared in the film Souryam with Gopichand which became a box office hit.
She had a string of releases in 2010. She portrayed a prostitute in Krish's critically acclaimed anthology film Vedam
which stars Allu Arjun.[29] For her performance, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress, her second consecutive
Filmfare Award.[30] Her next Telugu film, Panchakshari, was another heroine-centric film where she again performed
double roles.[29] This was followed by the action comedy Khaleja, where she starred opposite Mahesh Babu for the first
time in her career, Nagavalli, the Telugu remake of the Kannada film Aptharakshaka in which she portrayed the famous
role of Chandramukhi and Ragada. She also made special appearances in the movies Kedi and Thakita Thakita.
However all these 2010 releases failed to make an impact at the box office.[29] Her sole Tamil release of 2010, the
police story Singam co-starring Suriya was a high commercial success. Sify claimed, "Anushka is there only for glamour
and songs, but does a decent job".[31] while Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff stated, "Anushka, thankfully, has more to do
than just prance around in skimpy clothes (which she does very well). She romances dutifully, but her part picks up
when both she and Suriya are in Chennai, tangling with villains."[32]
In 2012, Anushka recollabored with in A. L. Vijay and Vikram in the action drama Thaandavam. Malathi Rangarajan
stated that "the romance between Vikram and Anushka is a beautiful feature of Thaandavam."[37] She later appeared
alongside Akkineni Nagarjuna in the fantasy film Dhamarukam, which was her first Telugu release after two years.
Karthik Pasupulate from The Times of India said that Anushka "has little to do as far as performance goes and does a
good job of upping the glam quotient".[38] Radhika Rajamani of Rediff claimed, "Anushka looks sweet. Nag and
Anushka have good onscreen chemistry".[39] Oneindia claimed, "Anushka Shetty has less scope for acting, but she
impresses you in song sequences.[40]
Her first release in 2013 was Alex Pandian, an action-masala film, directed by Suraj, co-starring Karthi.[41] The film was
a critical and commercial failure.[42] Her second release was Koratala Siva's Mirchi opposite Prabhas. Idlebrain
claimed, "Anushka is adorable in a naughty village belle, the dubbing also seems great and the character Vennela is
the best role among her recent role in movies".[43] Rediff wrote, "Anushka is bubbly and peps up the film
considerably".[44] Sify wrote, "Anushka looks beautiful and livens up the moments and praised her chemistry with
Prabhas".[45] She was next seen in Singam II, the sequel to Singam (2010), reprising her role from the first part. Sify
said, "Anushka looks jaded, has nothing to do but sizzle with Suriya in two songs" [46] while The Times of India stated,
"Anushka is forced to take a back seat even as she reprises her role of Kavya."[47]
Anushka next release was Selvaraghavan's fantasy adventure film Irandam Ulagam opposite Arya,[48] that saw her
playing a dual role again, the third time in her career. Anushka played Ramya, a doctor and Varna, a high spirited,
warrior-like character, in a parallel world. Rediff wrote, "Anushka not only shares equal screen space with Arya, but also
plays quite a significant role. In fact, the story revolves around her and she has performed admirably".[49] Behindwoods
wrote, "As the shy doctor Ramya and as the fierce warrior Varna, Anushka is simply at her best showcasing a wide
range of emotions and stunts. It is her performance that stands as a pivot for the rest of the story to take shape".[50] Her
latest release is the Tamil film Lingaa opposite Rajinikanth, released in December 2014. [51] She starred opposite
Rajnikanth in Lingaa which opened to mixed reviews. [52][53][54][55][56][57][58]
