Career

=Playback singing=

Mahalakshmi made her playback debut with the film Dus in 1997, but the film never completed and released due to the sudden passing of the film's director. The album however was released in 1999 as a tribute. She sang the track Ae Ajnabee with Udit Narayan for A. R. Rahman in Mani Ratnam's Dil Se.. which was her first release as a playback singer and considered to be her debut. Mahalakshmi continued singing for Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and A.R. Rahman in many films which followed.{{cite news|url= https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/money-doesn-t-matter-to-me-mahalaxmi-iyer/story-TGY9u8Eub9B1zMvVxkkWsO.html|title= Money doesn't matter to me: Mahalaxmi Iyer|date= November 12, 2016|work= Hindustan Times}}

Since then she has also sung many serials, jingles, and original albums.{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2001/apr/09maha.htm |title='My day will come too!' |work=rediff.com |date=7 April 2001 |access-date=27 December 2008}} She was part of several successful soundtracks such as Mission Kashmir, Yaadein and Saathiya and worked with some of the biggest music composers like A.
