Celebs Speech at Bahubali Audio Launch

Krithi Shetty, currently promoting her Tamil film LIK alongside director Pradeep Ranganathan and producer Vignesh Shivan, is steadily building buzz around the project. While the two songs released so far have received a lukewarm response, the anticipation for the film continues to grow.

During an interaction about LIK, Krithi fondly recalled her Telugu debut Uppena, which catapulted her to overnight fame. She shared a humorous anecdote about how she landed the role: “I had gone to audition for a commercial. My dad was supposed to pick me up, but he was late. I wandered into the next studio where another audition was happening. They asked if I was interested in films. I didn’t know what to say, so I gave them my mom’s number. Later, they called her, and it turned out to be for Uppena.” The film, starring Panja Vaisshnav Tej and Vijay Sethupathi, became a massive hit.

Despite starting her career with such a high-profile success, Krithi’s journey since has had its ups and downs. She is now gearing up for another Tamil project, Vaa Vaathiyaar, with Karthi, which will release in Telugu as Annagaru Vastaru. The teaser for the film has received a moderate response, leaving fans curious to see whether these upcoming releases will cement her place in the industry.
