Malini has been known by various names over her career. In Bavamaradallu (1961), directed by Sri P. A. Padmanabha Rao, Malini co-starred under the name Kusuma Kumari, her Telugu name, which she changed for Tamil films. She may have also appeared in Akka Chellelu (1957) by the same director. Additionally, she appeared in the Telugu film Sankalpam (1957), directed by C. V. Ranganathan, and had a lead role with N. T. Rama Rao in Vijayalaxmi.
