Krithi Shetty’s character in January 12 Vidudala has finally been revealed. Director Anil Ravipudi shared a new promotional update confirming that the actress will be seen as Deepu in the upcoming Sankranthi entertainer.
While the makers have already introduced the principal cast, they have been gradually revealing details about the characters. The latest update puts a name to Krithi Shetty’s role, but stops short of explaining what Deepu’s character is all about. That makes the reveal interesting without giving away too much about her part in the story.
Krithi Shetty is paired with Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the film, while Venkatesh and Keerthy Suresh form the other lead pairing. With the film bringing together four prominent actors, the individual character dynamics are expected to be an important part of the narrative.
The name Deepu is now official, but several questions remain. What kind of personality does Deepu have? How closely is she connected to Kalyan Ram’s character? And what role does she play in the family and comic situations that Anil Ravipudi is expected to build around the ensemble? The makers have plenty of room to reveal these details through the upcoming promotional campaign.
Titled January 12 Vidudala, the film is directed by Anil Ravipudi and stars Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty. The film is scheduled to arrive in theatres on January 12, 2027, for Sankranthi.
For now, Deepu is the latest piece of the character puzzle, and audiences will have to wait for the next promotional material to understand what Krithi Shetty’s role brings to the story.
