Krithi Shetty teams up with Ram

Girl on a roll

- Uppena

Krithi Shetty seems be the toast of Tinsel Town. Much before her Telugu debut film Uppena released, the actress had signed two others — Shyam Singha Roy and another untitled film opposite Sudheer Babu. After Uppena released last week and set the cash registers ringing, Krithi has become the blue-eyed girl of Tollywood.

We hear the actress has signed a Ram Pothineni’s film under director Lingusamy for producer Srinivasaa Chhitturi.

“Moreover, Lingusamy’s films have strong characters for leading ladies and Krithi felt that such intense roles would elevate her graph in the industry. She came on board quickly after listening to the script,” a source says.

We will plan something where we can be seen together soon on screen,” she promises.

Talking about other relationsh­ips, Rubina said, “It was obvious that I did have issues with Jasmin Bhasin and Rakhi Sawant. I did not

have much to do with Rahul Vaidya or Kavita Kaushik. But then I have left all that behind me now,” says the actress.

Rubina was often reprimande­d by Salman Khan, who hosted the show. “If he had not taught me, I wouldn’t have come this far. I really accept and appreciate that he has really helped me,” she says.
