She was subsequently signed on to appear in his bilingual crime film, Satya 2 (2013), shot in Hindi and Telugu, based on the Mumbai underworld. The film and Anaika's performance opened to negative reviews, with a reviewer from The Hindu noting "Anaika tries too hard to be erotic and fails miserably in a role that makes her look dumb instead of naïve", while Rediff.com noted she was a "bad actress".

She is currently filming for Vasanthabalan's Tamil period film Kaaviya Thalaivan starring alongside Siddharth, Prithviraj and Vedhicka. She was signed for the film while working on Satya 2, and subsequently shot for the film in rural Tamil Nadu, revealing she worked on acting like a princess to get into character.
