It was the Tamil comic classic, ''[[Kaadhalikka Neramillai]]'', that catapulted Rajasree to national fame. She quoted in an interview "When I got a call from such a big banner as Chitralaya asking me to be present at the studio the next morning, I couldn't believe my ears. Many artistes had been considered for the role, I had heard. The song, "Anubavam Pudhumai", was the sequence that was shot first. They liked it and I did the film,". Rajasree went on to play the same role in Telugu with Akkini Nageswara Rao and in Hindi with [[Shashi Kapoor]] — she was the only one to repeat the role in the remakes. She quoted in interview "I remember [[Nagesh]] pulling my leg often shouting out "Dhigilazhagi" whenever I was on the sets,". Hence both during the shooting of Bama Vijayam and every time she met actor Nagesh, he would always call her as Dhiglazhagi as in the film, a thief refers to her by that name.
 
It was decided by Sridhar to remake ''Kadhallikaa Neram Illai'' in Hindi as ''Pyar Kiye Jaa'' and he retained only Rajasree from the original. Her debut Hindi film was a major box office hit in 1966. This led to her receiving films in Hindi as well. However, none of her 4four films in Hindi became a hit except for her debut Hindi film.
 
She made her heroine debut in Telugu films with Nitya Kalyanam Paccha Thoranam in 1960 opposite Hero [[Ramakrishna (Telugu actor)]] and ''Constable Kuthuru'' (1962) opposite Kanta Rao, but previously she had been already introduced as a child artist in ''Nagula Chavithi'' (1956). She was cast as the heroine of N. T. Rama Rao in films like ''[[Aggi Barata]]'' (1966), ''[[Pidugu Ramudu]]'' (1966), ''Aggi Veerudu'' (1969) and ''Chitti Chellelu'' (1969). Her pairing opposite actor Kanta Rao was a box office success. The pair Rajasree-Kanta Rao worked in ''Pakkalo Ballem'' (1965), ''Bangaru Timmaraju'' (1964), ''Saptaswaralu'' (1969), ''Pratigyna Palana'' (1966), ''Vijaya Simha'' (1965), ''Aggidora'' (1967), ''Bhoolokamlo Yamolokam'' (1966), ''Devudichchina Bharta'' (1968), ''Veera Pooja'' (1968), ''Ranabheri'' (1968), ''Aggimeeda Guggilam'' (1968), ''Oke Kutumbham'' (1970), ''Merupu Veerudu'' (1970), ''Maa Manchi Akkayya'' (1970), ''Prema Jeevulu'', ''Bhale Ettu Chivaraku Chittu'' (1970) and ''Raite Raju'' (1970). They worked in another 10 movies where they were not paired opposite each other. She did about 76 films in Telugu. Her last film in Telugu was ''Andame Anandham'' (1977).
