Career[edit]

In 2006, she directed, produced and acted in Perfect Lives, a short film that was showcased at the Wilshire Fine Arts Theater as part of the La Femme Film Festival in Los Angeles.[7]
In December 2011, she was signed on to portray a role in Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Kadal after a successful audition. Portraying the role of Celina, a poor village woman, she expressed that the film would be her breakthrough in films as an actress and revealed that the popular song "Nenjukulle" from the film was shot with her for two weeks.[8] The film released in February 2013 and much to Lakshmi's shock, her portions were largely edited out of the film and the scope of her role was diminished.
