She also appeared in a film titled Gaganachukki, which never released.[5] She left the Kannada industry to work in Tamil and she was not willing to do anymore second lead roles. In 2012, she signed her first leading role in Kollaikaran.[6]

Recognition and success (2012-present)

Shetty has played female lead character in Nalan Kumarasamy's black comedy Soodhu Kavvum which was a critical and commercial success, collecting over ₹50 crore (US$7.0 million)[7] and it is to be considered biggest success in her career.[8] 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".[9] 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.[10]

In 2014, she signed a Kannada film after five years, Badmaash directed by Akash Srivatsa, which will see her playing a Radio Jockey.[11] In September 2014, she stated that she had four films, among which one would be a bilingual.[12]

gollark: Can you REALLY?
gollark: If you're somewhere where *all* is religion X, then it's somewhat hard to consider not-religion-X as a serious possibility.
gollark: It's not entirely a choice. "You" don't directly set your beliefs.
gollark: They aren't forced to, as it is entirely possible to not look at the channel while religion is mentioned.
gollark: Well, you can't exactly *make* people LGBT by discussing it with them.
