In 2010, she starred in a Tamil film Padagasalai and signed up four more Tamil films,[6][7] all of which were cancelled or remain unreleased. She next played a supporting role as the sister to Cheran's character in Mysskin's mystery thriller Yuddham Sei.[8] Director A. Sarkunam signed her for the female lead character in his period piece Vaagai Sooda Vaa (2011), for which she changed her screen name to Ineya.[9] Her portrayal of a tea stall owner was lauded by critics. Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff wrote that she was a "welcome find", describing her as "natural, appealing, and very expressive".[8] She played as a medical student and love interest of the hero in the film Mouna Guru co-starring Arulnidhi.[10] Bharathiraja signed her for his film Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum, being impressed with her performance in Vaagai Sooda Vaa,[11] but after the script was changed, her role was removed from the film.
