Career

She made her film debut with the film Deva in 1995 opposite Vijay. Swathi shared the screen space with Ajith Kumar in Vaanmathi (1996) directed by Agathiyan.[1]

After the success of Vaanmathi, Swathi returned to Hyderabad to complete her education and turned down film offers.[2] She played opposite Vijay in Vasantha Vaasal (1996) and Selva (1996). She played a supporting role with Prabhu in Mappillai Gounder (1997).

In 2000, Swathi was seen in a Hindi film Qurbaniyaan. The same year, she paired opposite Mithun Chakraborty in Justice Chowdhary. Swathi got a small yet meaty role in Yajamana, a Kannada film with Vishnuvardhan. In 2003, she shared the screen space with Vijayakanth in Chokka Thangam directed by K. Bhagyaraj. In 2004, she was seen in Thendral in a supporting role. In this movie, Swathi shared the screen space with R. Parthiban. In 2008, she played a supporting role in Ezhuthiyatharadi.
