Priyamani's Telugu debut was 'Evare Atagaadu', Priyamani then made her debut in the Malayalam film industry, where she starred in 'Satyam', but this film also performed poorly at the box office. Priyamani starred in director Bharathiraja's 'Kangalal Kaidhu Sei', which was released in 2004. Priyamani starred opposite 'Jagapathi Babu' in 'Pellaina Kothalo'. The film was a super hit and got her 3 Telugu films.
Priyamani had another blockbuster in Telugu, opposite Jr. NTR in the 2007 film 'Yamadonga' and opposite 'Vishal' in the Tamil film 'Malaikottai'. She again received critical acclaim in 2008 for her role in the Malayalam film 'Thirakkatha', in which she played a role based on the turbulent real-life story of late film actress 'Srividya'. She won another Filmfare Award for her performance. In Tamil, she had a single release 'Thotta' in 2008.
Her Kannada debut opposite super star 'Puneet Rajkumar' in 'Raam' was also a commercial success. All three of her Telugu releases that year, however, (Drona, Mitrudu, Pravarakhyudu) did not do well at the box office. In 2010 she acted opposite 'Mammootty' in the satirical film 'Pranchiyettan' and the Saint which became the longest-running Malayalam film since 2005. She won a Filmfare nomination for her role as a Mumbai-based interior decorator in the film.
