Acting In 2018, Syed Anwar and Sameera Sherief left Pagal Nilavu. Soundarya told The Times of India how she influenced the makers of the series to give her more screen time. Later that year, Soundarya and Vignesh Karthick left the series as it was hard to continue the series without two of the main characters. That same year, she starred with Vignesh Karthick, her Pagal Nilavu co-star in the short film Yours Shamefully, which became viral upon release. The team of the Master saw the short and subsequently signed Soundarya to play a role in the film.
