Aparna Das entered Malayalam cinema in 2018 with a small but memorable role in Njan Prakashan, a satirical comedy-drama directed by Sathyan Anthikad. While working in Muscat after completing her MBA, she was spotted by the director through a TikTok video and cast as the one-sided love interest of Bahuleyan, portrayed by Aneesh G.
