She was spotted by Actress Vyjanthimala in her dance school, who suggested to T. Prakash Rao that Neetu be taken for the small uncredited role in the film Suraj.

The remake was directed by MGR's friend, K.Shankar with the actor Randhir Kapoor and the Actress Neetu Singh. The Director duo Krishnan-Panju, who had directed Do Kaliyaan, suggested to K. Spaniards, that he can take Neetu Singh to reprise the role played by Manjula Vijayakumar in the original. This paved the way for Neetu Singh's debut at the age of 15 as the lead heroine.
