Srinidhi Shetty's work
Long before the cameras started rolling and the spotlight followed her every move, Srinidhi Shetty was living a very different life — as an engineering graduate working at Accenture . Behind the routine of corporate life, however, was a dream that never dimmed. That dream took flight after she won a beauty pageant in 2016, catching the eye of the KGF makers, who offered her a role that would change her life forever. As Srinidhi once shared, she didn't think twice before jumping into films — a decision that kickstarted her dazzling journey in cinema.Not many know that the stunning actress is an engineer by qualification. Srinidhi holds a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Jain University, Bangalore. Alongside her academic achievements, she made waves in the modelling world — winning titles like Miss Karnataka, Miss Beautiful Smile, and becoming the first runner-up and Miss Congeniality at Miss Queen of India. While she briefly juggled a career at Accenture, it was clear that Srinidhi was destined for something far beyond the corporate world.Her silver screen debut couldn't have been more spectacular. Srinidhi made her entry into films with the blockbuster KGF, starring opposite Yash. As Reena, Srinidhi portrayed a character full of grace, independence, and subtle arrogance — a perfect contrast to Yash's wild and fearless Rocky. Despite having no acting experience, she impressed everyone with her expressive performance, relying more on emotions than dialogues. Srinidhi credits director Prashanth Neel for mentoring her and making her feel at ease on set.Now, Srinidhi is all set to expand her horizons with her much-awaited Telugu debut, HIT 3 , opposite Nani . Slated to release on May 1, 2025, the film is already generating major buzz. Srinidhi plays a pivotal role as Nani's wife, even though the promos have kept her character under wraps. Talking about the project, she shared that when someone like Nani offers you a film, you just take it without a second thought.Directed by Sailesh Kolanu , HIT 3 follows the story of Arjun Sarkaar, an SP transferred from Visakhapatnam to Jammu and Kashmir to investigate a chilling string of serial murders. With intense action, gripping drama, and Srinidhi's powerful screen presence, HIT 3 promises to be a thrilling ride.Beyond HIT 3, Srinidhi has an exciting lineup. She will soon be seen in Telusu Kada opposite Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Raashii Khanna, and she is also part of Kichcha 47 alongside Kichcha Sudeep . She will also star opposite Yash KGF

As Ranbir Kapoor shoots for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, co-star Arun Govil says ‘no star is suitable to play Lord Ram': ‘You can find someone outside'
With the first part of Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana all set to release in 2026, actor Arun Govil has expressed his concern in today's actors being worthy of playing Lord Ram. Govil, who is famous for his portrayal of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan, said, 'I don't think anyone is suitable.' The actor's statement has drawn significant attention, especially since he is part of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. In a conversation with NDTV, Arun Govil said, 'Three-four people tried recreating it, but they were not successful. I don't think in our lifetime someone should try to recreate Ramayan. As far as some actor playing Ram (is concerned), all the available actors, all the stars at this moment – I don't think anyone is suitable. Maybe you can find someone outside the industry.' Arun Govil's statement has sparked a debate online with many fans expressing concerns regarding Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana where Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in the role of Lord Ram.

That film, however, became a target of trolls for its poor VFC and colloquial language. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor and Arun Govil, the film will also star Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, Lara Dutta as Kaykay and KGF fame Yash as Ravana. Yash is also the co-producer of the film along with Namit Malhotra. Other actors who are expected to star in the film are Rakul Preet Singh, Anil Kapoor, Kunal Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana will be released in two parts on Diwali 2026 and 2027, respectively.
