The film was released in 1975 and she acted in nearly 100 Telugu films as the lead actress.

The actress is also interested in politics. “I will first meet Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and then announce my entry into politics,” she says. She wishes to join the TRS party soon and admits that though she is not interested in direction, she wants to produce films.
