Krithi Shetty wants to learn the ropes as a pro
After playing a village belle in her Telugu debut 'Uppena', Krithi plays an urban girl, the daughter of a single parent.
Hyderabad: The bold scene with Natural Star Nani in the latest release ‘Shyam Singha Roy’ doesn’t put Krithi Shetty on the back foot in the beginning of her film career as she says, “It’s being shown in a negative light. But it’s all about learning ropes professionally. Whether it is performing for an action sequence or for a romantic scene, an actor sees the both equally. The bedroom scene in the period drama in the first half is the part of the story where it eventually connects to the character Rosy (played by Sai Pallavi).”
