In 2025, Srinidhi Shetty, the Mangaluru-born actress who rose to fame with her breakout performance in the 2018 film KGF, has been steadily expanding her presence in the Telugu film industry. After making her Telugu debut in 2022 with the film HIT 3 opposite Nani, Srinidhi is now set to be seen as the female lead alongside veteran actor Venkatesh in an upcoming project directed by Trivikram Srinivas.
Srinidhi, who considers Hyderabad her "second home," has developed a deep connection with the city, embracing its vibrant food scene and warm-hearted people. "Hyderabad has truly become my second home," she says. "Even when we're in Bangalore, we end up eating Hyderabadi biryani! I love the flavors of Telugu food, whether it's avakai pachadi or chaaru."
The actress, known for her versatility, believes in choosing quality over quantity when it comes to her roles. "My on-screen characters are usually very different from who I am in real life, and that's what I enjoy most about acting," she explains. "I've never believed in doing five films a year just to stay relevant. I want to be part of good stories and play as many diverse characters as possible, but I'll do it at my own pace."
