Dravya Shetty goes ‘grey’ in her next

Dravya Shetty is already a few films old in Sandalwood, a feat she credits to her hardwork. “I hail from Chikmagalur and used to be a part of fashion shows since my PU days. I was even the finalist of a state-wide beauty pageant, following which I posted a bunch of pictures on social media. A lady film reporter stumbled upon my pictures and asked if I would audition for a film. I was unsure of the authenticity of the offer, so I told her that I was still a novice in the fashion industry and had no acting experience. She insisted, though, and since my family was supportive of me trying my luck, I decided to audition and that is how I landed a role in

Kelavu Dinagala Nanthara

,” says Dhravya.
She followed that up with

Best Friends

, which was promoted as Kannada cinema’s first film about lesbians. “I liked the subject and that there was no vulgarity in the film,” says Dhravya, who is currently in Chikmagalur for her exams. “As soon as I am done with my exams, I will wind up work on

Aghora

, on which one song is pending and then join the set of

Kaliyuga Ravana

. “The team is on the lookout to cast the main villain of the film. I play one of the leads and will start shooting as soon as they cast the villain, as my portions are with him. That is actually the twist in the tale that despite being with the villain, I represent goodness,” she signs off.
