KGF actor Srinidhi Shetty on having a ‘flowerpot role’ in Yash starrer; ‘It is an individual choice…’

by

Srinidhi Shetty prepares to share screen time with Nani in the upcoming film titled “HIT: The Third Case”, set to premiere on May 1, 2025. In a recent conversation with PTI, the actress discussed her smaller role in the Yash-led KGF series, comparing it to being confined within a pot.

According to her, “I didn’t have any issues playing a flowerpot in KGF as it felt like a dream project for me once offered, not because of how the role would unfold. Upon learning the story, I realized my part was limited, but I still wanted to be a part of it. I wished for my debut film to be this one. However, ultimately, it’s a personal decision.

She remarked, “Just as some prefer being a flowerpot, others wouldn’t. As for me, in the upcoming movies, I’m undecided if I’d like to play a role similar to a flowerpot. I’ll carefully consider whether it aligns with my preferences. I’ll look at who’s producing the film and how significant the ‘flowerpot’ character is… The first time was a deliberate decision on my part.

Srinidhi went on to explain that three significant aspects in her life – reputation, recognition, and affection – were all derived from the success of KGF. She stressed the importance she places on selecting films with care and added that the acclaimed Yash-led production did not alter her as an individual.

As a devoted admirer and an essential part of the KGF saga, directed by the talented Prashanth Neel, I took on the captivating role of the female lead and love interest. Despite my character’s screen presence being relatively minimal, it was an enriching experience that I am now eager to share my insights on.

Moving forward, Srinidhi will mark her first Telugu role in “HIT: The Third Case,” alongside Nani. This film, helmed by director Sailesh Kolanu, is part of the HIT Universe and serves as the third installment after the films starring Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh.

In the forthcoming movie, we follow a Special Police Investigation team leader based in Visakhapatnam who gets tasked with a top-tier case. This case unfolds in Jammu and Kashmir, where it concerns a string of brutal murders carried out by suspected serial killers.

In the main characters’ positions alongside Nani and Srinidhi are Adil Pala, Rao Ramesh, Brahmaji, Maganti Srinath, and several other significant actors.
