She was now called a successor to the great Telugu actress Savitri and performed many strong roles and showed excellent range. While her debut role as heroine in the Telugu film Lakshmana Rekha (1975) got her attention, it was really the title role in Jyothi (remake of the Hindi film Mili, starring Jaya Bhaduri) that made her a big star in Telugu films. Her fame quickly spread, where Telugu film producers were offering her good film roles. She also changed her name to Jayasudha, since there was already another actress named Sujatha. She acted in a number of films in Telugu and Tamil, mostly under Balachander's direction Sollathaan Ninaikkiren (1973), Naan Avanillai (1974) and Apoorva Raagangal and in Idi Katha Kaadu with Chiranjeevi. Balachander gave her a small role in the Tamil film Arangetram, where she shared space with Kamal Haasan. Jayasudha made her film debut when she was twelve years old as Jamuna's daughter in the Telugu film Pandanti Kapuram (1972). Her aunt is the Telugu film actress and director Vijaya Nirmala. Jayasudha was born as Sujatha in a Telugu family in Madras on 17 December 1958.
