Her first leading role came in the romantic comedy Ego (2013) featuring newcomers. The film went on to become an average grosser at the box office and had a low-profile release.

She made a breakthrough in her career by portraying the character Mohini, in the black comedy film Yaamirukka Bayamey (2014), which went on to become such a grand commercial success that horror comedy/dark comedy became a trend in the Tamil Film Industry.

Lalitha Raj, the makeup artist of Yaamirukka Bayamey appreciated Anaswara saying “For Anaswara, we had to apply heavy makeup and it took about three to four hours to complete it every day. Her dedication should be appreciated. It was cold while shooting for her scenes, but she managed to sit outside with that look for hours.
