Meanwhile, the most-sought-after actress Krithi Shetty is basking on the glory of her debut film ‘Uppena’. In the author-backed role of Bebamma, the 17-year-old stole the show with her arresting beauty and impeccable emoting skills particularly in the climax where she takes on Vijay Sethupathi in what can be termed as a hard-hitting emotional sequence. Besides notching up a worldwide gross of over Rs 70 crore in the first week, the romantic-drama was widely appreciated by critics, celebrities and the general audience.

Before the release of ‘Uppena’ itself, Krithi has started shooting for Nani’s Shyam Singha Roy in Kolkata. She is playing one among the three heroines in the supernatural thriller who include Sai Pallavi and Madonna Sebastian. Besides these two projects, she will be seen as the female lead opposite Sudheer Babu in ‘Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali’ directed by Mohana Krishna Indraganti.
