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]
