Anandhi made her debut in Maruthi’s coming-of-age film Bus Stop in 2012, which was well-received by critics. Her next film, Priyathama Neevachata Kushalama, released in March 2013, received negative reviews. However, a critic noted that the “saving grace for the film is performance of the lead pair – Varun Sandesh and Hasika”, and added that Hasika “looks traditional and has put up a decent show as well.”

In early 2013, Anandhi signed on to appear in the Tamil film Poriyaalan alongside Harish Kalyan, written by Manimaran. During production, the scope of the film became larger after it was announced that director Vetrimaaran had chosen to invest in the venture as a co-producer. Anandhi appeared in Prabhu Solomon’s directorial venture Kayal in 2014, in which she played the title role. She was selected after auditioning twice before impressing Solomon, who rechristened her as Anandhi from Rakshita for the film. Her performance received praise, and she was nominated for several Best Debut Actress awards for 2014, including at the Vijay Awards.
