Krithi Shetty to play Chiranjeevi's daughter in Bobby Kolli's next, here's what we know

Post the success of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Chiranjeevi has teamed up with his Waltair Veerayya director Bobby Kolli. The shoot begins soon

Krithi Shetty in Chiranjeevi's next

The other day, we at OTTplay revealed that Chiranjeevi’s next film with Bobby Kolli would be a father-daughter emotional drama. We also reported that a young heroine had been locked to play Chiranjeevi’s daughter.

Who is the female lead in Chiranjeevi-Bobby Kolli film?

We have now learned that it is none other than Krithi Shetty of Uppena fame who has been roped in for the role. After the debacle of Bholaa Shankar, Chiranjeevi has decided to play roles that suit his age and focus on mature characters that enhance his image, and the Bobby Kolli film is the first step in that direction.

What is Chiranjeevi's film with Bobby Kolli all about?

Bobby Kolli has etched a powerful character for Chiranjeevi in this action drama, which revolves around a father’s hunt for his lost daughter. After approaching a few popular heroines for the part, the makers finally locked Krithi Shetty.

This choice seems perfect, as Krithi is a solid performer and is quite young, making her a suitable fit for the role. Bobby Kolli had earlier directed Chiranjeevi in Waltair Veerayya, which was a smash hit at the box office.

Naturally, there are huge expectations for their second collaboration. The script has been locked, and a young hero is expected to romance Krithi Shetty. His name will be revealed soon.

Chiranjeevi has not done many mature roles in recent times, which makes this project even more interesting. On the other hand, this film comes as a blessing for Krithi Shetty, who has been going through a series of flops in her career. Bagging a Chiranjeevi film is a big achievement for her.
