Actress Kriti Shetty, who made a fairly confident debut opposite Panja Vaisshnav Tej in Uppena, is in demand. The starlet has been flooded with several exciting offers and it's no exaggeration that the filmmakers are making beelines to cast her in their films. As of now, she has already started working for two films -- Shyam Singha Roy and Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali and is set to commence shooting for Ram Pothineni's upcoming bilingual with Lingusamy.

The latest we hear is that Kriti Shetty has been approached to play the female lead opposite Prince Mahesh Babu in his new film directed by Anil Ravipudi. Sources say it was Mahesh who had suggested Kriti's name to Anil and the director too has no qualms to get her on board. While the script is yet to be locked, chances are bright for Kriti to be paired opposite Mahesh.

It may be recalled that Mahesh was bowled over by the performances of Vaisshnav and Kriti and went on to call Uppena a classic and one of the rare timeless films of Telugu cinema.

To be bankrolled by Dil Raju, the Anil Ravipudi directorial is expected to go on floors later this year soon after Mahesh wraps up Sarkaru Vaari Paata.
