The film was shot in real location at the Ranganathan Street in T Nagar, Chennai with hidden cameras, with Anjali disclosing that they wore the uniform of a particular textile company, passing off as real sales-people and selling goods. The Vasanthabalan-directed tragedy drama focussed on the lives of young employees who work in retail department stores. She next played Kani, a fiery, independent sales girl in a textile showroom in Angadi Theru (2010) which melted everyone’s heart was released two years after her last venture.
The latter, which featured her as the female lead opposite Sundar C, was panned by critics and she was criticised for accepting that role, with reviewers noting that she had nothing to do in the film,”except roll her eyes”. Her performance earned her the Vijay Award for Best Debut Actress for that year, and she grew in popularity, leading her to several more offers, albeit the film proved commercially unsuccessful. She appeared in two films in 2008 Honganasu, her first Kannada project and Aayudham Seivom in Tamil. A Behindwoods critic wrote that she was “a delight to watch and spellbinds the viewer with her beautiful fresh look and her performance”, while Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff described her as “a breath of fresh air” and “the perfect foil to Jeeva’s plethora of emotions”.
Anjali won critical praise for her portrayal of Anandhi, the childhood friend and love interest of a young teacher-turned-psychopath (enacted by Jeeva). She made her Tamil film début later that year in Kattradhu Thamizh, directed by Ram, which released to strong critical acclaim.

Anjali portrayed a ghost haunting her murderers in Photo, which co-starred two more newcomers, Anand and Bhanu. She played the female lead in another Telugu venture, the romance film Premalekha Raasa (2007), directed by lyricist Kulasekhar, opposite a debutant again both films garnered negative response, and performed poorly at the box office, failing to propel her career in Telugu cinema. In 2002, Anjali was signed on to appear in director Kalanjiyam’s Sathamintri Muthamidu under the screen name of Sundhari, but the film later failed to materialise. The director also began two other films with Anjali, Valiba Desam and En Kanavu Thaanadi, though those also failed to materialise. She has two brothers and a sister. She completed her schooling in Razole and later moved to Chennai, Tamil Nadu where she continued her studies, pursuing a degree in Mathematics. After completing her education, she began acting in short films, which paved the way for her entry into the film industry. Anjali remarked that her parents had aspirations to become an actor and that they “realised their dreams” through her. Anjali was born in Razole, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh.
