Career

She starred alongside Ravi Teja in the hit film Vikramarkudu, with critics highlighting her “lusciousness” and “flawless acting.”

She also made her Tamil debut that year with the action flick Rendu, co-starring R. Madhavan. The following years saw Shetty cementing her status as a leading lady in the Telugu film industry.

Her performances in films like Lakshyam and Don, opposite Nagarjuna, were well-received. By 2008, she had established herself as a sought-after actress, appearing in six films that year, including the box office hit Souryam.
