In 2011, Neelima decided to prioritize starring in feature films over television serials. Her performance as Karthi’s friend in Naan Mahaan Alla earned her the Edison Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also played a pivotal role in the film Muran.

Neelima ventured into production with K. S. Adhiyaman’s comedy film Amali Thumali, featuring Nakul, Shanthnu, and Santhanam in lead roles. Her responsibilities as a producer led her to oversee work in Fiji, resulting in her departure from the television serial Thendral. Later, she portrayed a significant role named ‘Dimple’ in the world record-winning Sun TV serial, Vani Rani.
