Mali made her acting debut in the 1999 film Prema Katha
which was directed by Ram Gopal Varma. Varma became
Mali's frequent collaborator. Although Mali was
critically acclaimed for her performances in each of
her films, she discontinued her acting career after
production of her last film (Mr Ya Miss which she had
also written and directed) was received poorly and
critically panned. Mali paid her tribute to Madhuri
Dixit by playing an aspiring actress inspired by
Madhuri in the movie Main Madhuri Diixit Banna Chahti
Hoon.
