Krithi Shetty witnessed a meteoric rise in Telugu cinema, becoming one of the rare actresses to bag more than half a dozen offers on the strength of a single hit. However, a string of box-office failures soon slowed her momentum in Tollywood, eventually pushing her to explore opportunities in other industries.
Following this phase, Krithi shifted her focus to Malayalam and Tamil cinema, where she has been steadily rebuilding her career.
The year 2026 looks particularly promising for the young actress, as she has an impressive lineup of three notable Tamil projects: one each opposite Karthi, Jayam Ravi, and Pradeep Ranganathan. With such a strong slate, her prospects in Tamil cinema appear brighter than ever.
Despite this, the 22-year-old actress believes the time is ripe to take her next big leap. She plans a Bollywood debut. Reports recently surfaced suggesting that Krithi Shetty would be making her Hindi film debut opposite Tiger Shroff in a film directed by Milap Milan Zaveri.
Responding to the reports, the actress has stated that she is open to making her Bollywood debut and has received a few offers, but no deal has been signed so far. As she balances a strong Tamil lineup with growing interest from Bollywood, 2026 could prove to be a decisive year in Krithi Shetty’s evolving career.
