After a hiatus, Keerthy made her debut as a lead actress in Priyadarshan’s horror film Geethaanjali (2013), playing a dual role, and later appeared in Ring Master (2014) alongside Dileep, portraying a blind girl, which she found more challenging than her previous role, with the film emerging as a commercial success.
