Taking on her first lead role in a Malayalam film, Keerthy Suresh made her debut as a lead actress in Priyadarshan's horror film "Geethaanjali." Her foray into Tamil cinema began with A. L. Vijay's romantic comedy "Idhu Enna Maayam." Notably, she gained widespread acclaim for her portrayal of the legendary southern actress Savitri in Nag Ashwin's biographical drama "Mahanati," a performance that earned her the National Film Award for Best Actress.

Her stellar acting prowess in "Mahanati" also secured a spot in the "100 Greatest Performances of the Decade" list by Film Companion. Additionally, Keerthy Suresh found herself recognized in Forbes India's esteemed "30 Under 30" list of 2021.
