Sanchita Shetty is an Indian actress, who has appeared predominantly in Tamil and Kannada films. She is known for her breakthrough role as the female lead role in Soodhu Kavvum (2013).

Film career

Early career (2006–2012)

She made her first film appearance in the Kannada hit film Mungaru Male (2006) as a friend to the film's female lead (Pooja Gandhi). She continued to star in supporting roles in three Kannada films: Milana (2007), Uda (2009), and Bhaya.com (2009). She also appeared in a film titled Gaganachukki, though it was never released.

Recognition and other films (2013–present)

Shetty has played female lead character in Nalan Kumarasamy's black comedy Soodhu Kavvum which was a critical and commercial success, and it is to be considered biggest success in her career. She played an imaginary character in the film, which was received well. Sify wrote, "Sanchita Shetty as his (Vijay Sethupathy) girlfriend is smashing and delivers some one-liners with perfect lip sync". The film went on to be remade in several other Indian languages and Shetty expressed interest in reprising the role in its remakes as well. Then, she is paired with Ashok Selvan in Pizza II: Villa (2013).

In 2016, Shetty made her return to the Kannada film industry with Badmaash (directed by Akash Srivatsa), in which she played a radio jockey. In Tamil, she continued to perform simultaneously as Ennodu Vilayadu (2017), Rum (2017), Engitta Modhathey (2017), Yenda Thalaiyila Yenna Vekkala (2018) and Johnny (2018). Later, she appeared in Devadas Brothers (2021) and Vinodhaya Sitham (2021). She appeared in the supporting cast in the thriller Bagheera (2023) as well as a lead actress in Pallu Padama Paathukka (2023) and Azhagiya Kanne (2023).
