Career

She made her breakthrough portraying Mohini in the black comedy film Yaamirukka Bayamey (2014), which became a commercial success. Anaswara had met the director Deekay through Balaji, who had also appeared in the film, and was selected after convincing Deekay that she could convincing portray a haunted character. During production, Anaswara's make-up in her ghost avatar took up to four hours to apply, while she revealed that she got into character by "standing alone in the haunted room to imbibe the ghostly feelings".[5] The actors in the film won positive reviews, with Rediff.com noting "the lead actors have performed admirably; there is a touch of eccentricity and wackiness to all the characters that adds to the ambience of the film."[6][7] [8] She then went on to reprise her role in Yaamirukka Bayamey's Kannada remake Namo Boothatma(2014).It turned out to be a commercial success there also.

Anaswara started to shoot for a new film in January 2016 titled as 'Pattinapakkam' directed by Jayadev opposite Kalaiyarasan.
