KGF fame Srinidhi Shetty recalls her first day with Yash on sets; I was very nervous

Miss Supranational 2016, Srinidhi Shetty began to receive offers to act in films. She had her acting debut in the Kannada period action thriller film K.G.F: Chapter 1 in 2018, directed by Prashanth Neel.

In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Srinidhi Shetty recalls her first meeting with Yash on sets and calls it a 'smooth journey'. "It was our first schedule in 2017, I was very nervous because I used to watch his films in theatres and now acting with him. He was so relaxed, chilled, and made me comfortable. Initially, I would just acknowledge and get that comfort but after that, it was one smooth journey because he is a very focused actor. If there were any inputs needed, he would help me. If I would need time to compose myself and start acting for a shot, he would wait. I feel lucky to have him as a co-star for my first film."

The film industry loves to typecast its actors and actresses. Asked if she has a fear of being typecast considering she has done only 2 films in 6 years, Srinidhi says, "I cannot generalize but speak for myself. It doesn't affect you now but also just because you are a part of a Pan-India movie, it doesn't make you a star. You are an actor and if you are working well, your actions will speak louder. I myself feel like a beginner even now."

KGF: Chapter 2 releases on April 14, 2022.
