Krithi Shetty’s debut film, “Uppena,” released in 2021, was a significant success at the box office. The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and co-starring Panja Vaisshnav Tej and Vijay Sethupathi, was produced with a budget of approximately ₹13-15 crore. It grossed around ₹84.1 crore, making it a blockbuster hit.
The film’s success not only highlighted Krithi Shetty’s acting abilities but also established her as a promising newcomer in the Telugu film industry, leading to numerous offers for subsequent roles.
However, she has been facing a challenging year in her acting career, marking her sixth consecutive flop with the release of “ARM,” her debut in the Malayalam film industry. Despite starring alongside Tovino Thomas and hopes for success, the film did not perform well, even in its Telugu dubbed version.
Since her breakthrough role in “Uppena” (2021), Shetty has struggled to replicate that success. Her last projects in Tollywood include “The Warrior” (2022) and “Manamey” (2023), both of which were poorly received at the box office. The actress has three upcoming Tamil films that she hopes will revitalize her career, despite the string of failures. At just over twenty years old, Krithi Shetty’s career is still in its early stages, and she is determined to overcome this rough patch and achieve greater success in the future.
