Actress Krithi Shetty, who shot to fame with her impressive debut in Uppena, has struggled to maintain the early momentum she gained in Telugu cinema. While she continues to enjoy good recognition, she hasn’t been able to convert that initial success into a strong star presence.
Hoping for a fresh start, Krithi shifted her focus to Tamil cinema, where she lined up three films as part of her big debut. However, her Tamil entry has now hit an unexpected roadblock. All three films — Vaa Vathiyaar, Love Insurance Kompany, and Genie — have been postponed. While the first two have confirmed delays, there is still no clarity on the release date of Genie.
With all three December releases pushed ahead, Krithi’s Tamil debut is set to be significantly delayed. The actress, who entered the industry at age 18, has grown both in experience and confidence. She has been eagerly waiting to showcase her evolved screen presence and is ready to elevate her glamour game.
But back-to-back obstacles like these are uncommon for an actress trying to break into a new industry. Krithi had high expectations from her Tamil projects, yet her wait for a major breakthrough seems to be stretching longer than she had hoped.
Hrithik’s Dhurandhar Comment Sparks Controversy
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is currently setting the Indian box office on fire, with impressive revenues reflecting its strong mass appeal. However, the film has also sparked debate, with some critics arguing that the India–Pakistan narrative in spy thrillers has become repetitive.
Amid the ongoing discussions, Hrithik Roshan took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the film, and his remarks have stirred fresh controversy.
In his Instagram story, Hrithik wrote, “I love cinema. I love people who climb into a vortex and let the story take control, spin them, shake them until what they want to say is purged out of them onto that screen. Dhurandhar is an example of that. Loved the storytelling. It’s cinema.”
He further added, “I may disagree with the politics of it and argue about the responsibilities we filmmakers should bear as citizens of the world. Nevertheless, I can’t ignore how much I loved and learned from this one as a student of cinema. Amazing.”
Hrithik’s statement, especially his mention of disagreeing with the film’s “politics,” has fueled speculation that he was subtly critiquing the movie’s underlying message. Many believe his words indirectly address the growing sentiment that such films often serve as propaganda vehicles.
His comments have since ignited a wide debate in Bollywood circles, with fans and industry insiders waiting to see if more stars will share their opinions on Dhurandhar and its political undertones.
