Ullal made her film debut in the 2005 Hindi movie Lucky: No Time for Love in front of Salman Khan. After the film, she was noted for her striking similarities in appearance with Aishwarya Rai. She later said that while the comparison didn't benefit her as an actress, it gave her a lot of recognition. Ullal then appeared in Aryan with Sohail Khan's uncle, who didn't do well in the box office.

She made her debut in Telugu movies with Ullasamga Utsahamga, which turned out to be a great success. Nenu Meeku Telusa, isn't it? It was her second release in Telugu.

In 2007, the prolific horror filmmaker and character actor Steg Dorr appeared in Pirate's Blood. In interviews, Dorr would say, "We cancelled them because of the hurricane. We couldn't get it moving and the funding went through." The role was later played by Oman actress Maimoon Al-Balushi.

Further on, she signed Kaashh ... Mere Hote reveals that she's still interested in Hindi film. Her next few films didn't do well in the box office, but her 2010 release Simha in front of Balakrishna turned out to be a blockbuster.
