==Career== Gayatri Rema made her acting debut in the anthology film ''Touring Talkies'' (2015), after being recommended by the film's lead actor S. A. Chandrasekhar. Appearing as a young girl in a "modern" relationship, the film had music composed by Ilaiyaraaja, but the film did not perform well at the box office. Gayatri later appeared in another small budget film ''Oruthal'', which received media attention after actor Jai Akash bought the distribution rights.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-16/jai-akash-talks-about-oruthal.html |title=Jai Akash talks about Oruthal |publisher=Behindwoods.com |date=2016-09-20 |access-date=2017-02-16}}</ref>
In 2017, Gayatri Rema featured as a village girl in the horror film ''Saaya'' directed and produced by Pazhanivel. The film, which featured her alongside Santhosh Khanna and Sonia Agarwal, had a relatively low profile release in February 2017.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.2daycinema.com/news-id-sonia-agarwal-in-a-horror-movie-18-07-163777.htm |title=Sonia Agarwal in a horror movie |publisher=2daycinema.com |date=2016-07-18 |access-date=2017-02-16 |archive-date=4 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204004641/http://www.2daycinema.com/news-id-sonia-agarwal-in-a-horror-movie-18-07-163777.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> Her next release will be ''Villangam'' opposite actor Nandha, with Gayatri replacing actress Meenakshi midway through production.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/kollywood/220416/gayathri-replaces-meenakshi-in-villangam.html |title=Gayathri replaces Meenakshi in Villangam |publisher=Deccanchronicle.com |date= 22 April 2016|access-date=2017-02-16}}</ref>
