Kannada actress Srinidhi Shetty of KGF fame is all set to make her Telugu debut with the film Hit 3. Nani is the lead actor, and the film is hitting the screens on May 1. The actress clarified that she didn’t reject the role of Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s film Ramayan, where Ranbir Kapoor is playing Lord Ram.
“I auditioned for the role of Sita and after that, I didn’t get any call from them. I wasn’t a big actress who could reject a role in such a big film. Some miscommunication happened in the media,” clarified Srinidhi Shetty. She added that Sai Pallavi has not grabbed her Sita role. “I am very happy that Sai Pallavi is playing Sita,” said Srinidhi.
According to a source, Srinidhi Shetty and Yash played the lead pair in the film KGF and its second part. Now, Yash is playing Ravan and the makers felt that if Srinidhi Shetty played Sita, it wouldn’t look nice, so they approached Sai Pallavi.
The actress says that she got an important role in Hit 3. “Generally, in investigation thrillers, the female lead doesn’t get much scope, but if you look at the earlier two franchises, the female lead’s impact is there. Now, director Sailesh has further bettered the female lead’s portion in Hit 3,” said Srinidhi.
The actress lends her own voice for her role. “Initially, someone dubbed for my role, but I requested the director to allow me to lend my own voice for my debut film. He agreed, and actually, he liked my voice and continued with it,” she said. She added that lending her own voice for her debut film gives something special.
The actress is also doing another Telugu film Telusu Kada opposite Siddu Jonnalagadda. It is directed by debutant Neeraja Kona.
