Krithi Shetty, the Telugu and Tamil star who broke through with Uppena, is now preparing for her first Hindi film. Reports say the project is a love story, expected to go on floors later this year, with the title, storyline and supporting cast still under wraps.
A debut director with a familiar filmi lineage
The film will be directed by Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, who has spent 17 years as a protégé of filmmaker Rohit Shetty. That association matters: a debutant director carrying the confidence of an established commercial filmmaker hints at the tone the makers want—polished, accessible and built for a wide Hindi audience.
Abhishek S Vyas is producing under the AVS Studios banner.
Another South actor eyes the Hindi market
Shetty’s move fits a pattern Bollywood has been warming to: drawing on performers with established South followings. For a young actor, a love story is a conventional but effective entry point—it foregrounds screen presence and pairing rather than action or scale.
- Director: Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, 17 years as Rohit Shetty’s protégé
- Producer: Abhishek S Vyas, AVS Studios
- Shoot: expected to begin later this year
- Title and cast: yet to be announced
What to watch
Shetty was last seen in Love Insurance Kompany opposite Pradeep Ranganathan and SJ Suryah, and her upcoming slate includes the multilingual film Genie with Jayam Ravi, Wamiqa Gabbi and Kalyani Priyadarshan. A Hindi debut positioned around her could arrive while that visibility is still building.
For now, the announcement is thin on specifics, so treat early reports as directional until the makers confirm the title and cast.
