After a moderate year in 2004, Saran had ten 2005 releases, nine of which were Telugu films. For Chatrapati, in which she appeared opposite Prabhas, she earned her first nomination for the Filmfare Best Telugu Actress Award. Meanwhile, she made her comeback in Kollywood with Mazhai, a remake of the Telugu film Varsham. Neither the movie nor her performance were received well.[17]Saran's only 2006 release, excluding special appearances, was the Tamil film Thiruvilayadal Arambam. In 2007, she was chosen to play the lead female role opposite Rajinikanth in S. Shankar's Sivaji: The Boss,[18] which was the most expensive Indian film at that time.[5] R. G. Vijayasarathy wrote in his review for Rediff that aside from her beauty, Saran "proves that she can act too".[19] Her performance earned her a South Scope Style Award for Best Tamil Actress and a nomination at the Vijay Awards.[20]
Saran then made her comeback in Hindi cinema with Awaarapan alongside Emraan Hashmi, which was a joint production between India and Pakistan. She received a nomination for the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award for her role. Later that year she appeared in one more Tamil film, Azhagiya Tamil Magan opposite Vijay. Though critics exalted her looks, her performance received mixed reviews
