After the success of the film, she starred in the films, such as, Sanasanna Maa, and Yahalu Yeheli, both in 1982. In 1984, she acted in three films: Kokila, Podi Ralahami and Sasara Chethana. Later Visakha won the Sarasaviya Award for Best Emerging Actress for her performance in the film Sasara Chethana in 1985 at the 13th Sarasaviya Awards.
