When Srinidhi Shetty commented on her ‘five minutes’ screen time in Yash’s KGF Chapter 1

As an ardent fan who has closely followed Srinidhi Shetty‘s journey, I must say her resilience and patience are truly inspiring. Starting with a mere five-minute screen time in KGF Chapter 1, she trusted Prashanth Neel’s vision and held on to the project for over six years, even amidst numerous challenges and uncertainties.


Srinidhi Shetty gained recognition after appearing in Yash’s movie KGF Chapter 1 in 2018, and its sequel KGF Chapter 2 in 2022. Although she is a well-known model, her initial acting role in the Prashanth Neel film was not a breakout one as she had only a brief screen presence of five minutes in the first installment. In an older interview with OTT play, Shetty discussed this herself.

At the premiere of KGF 2’s trailer, Srinidhi Shetty expressed that because she had a brief role in the initial movie, some people assumed her involvement in the sequel would also be minimal.

In regards to KGF, I had a clear understanding of my character’s journey from beginning to end. However, when filming began, I discovered that the magnitude of the production necessitated dividing it into two parts. Consequently, my character was minimally involved in part 1, primarily serving as an introduction for the lead and other characters. In the end, Reena only had about five minutes on screen, but Prashant reassured me not to worry.

Afterward, she felt confident in Prashanth Neel’s guarantees about an expanded and significant part in KGF 2, which made her eagerly anticipate her opportunity. Therefore, she was ready to be patient.

Instead, the delay in KGF 2’s release proved to be an extended one, spanning approximately three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During this time, Srinidhi grew increasingly anxious, and her family shared her uncertainty about future job prospects.

Srinidhi explained, “The delay, however, extended beyond three years which could be somewhat frustrating, given the pandemic situation that we couldn’t manage. Within my family, there were inquiries about why I was focusing solely on the project, KGF and why wasn’t I pursuing other endeavors?

However, she spoke about maintaining her faith and applying diligent effort towards this project for over six years, an endeavor that could have yielded several other projects during the same period.

In terms of her professional endeavors, Srinidhi Shetty is looking forward to several captivating ventures, such as Telusu Kada, HIT: The Third Case, and Kichcha 47.
