Krithi Shetty, known to Telugu and Tamil audiences for Uppena and Shyam Singha Roy, is taking her first step into Hindi cinema. Her debut film, Hum Tere Pyaar Mein, is billed as a romantic entertainer and has gone on floors.
Rohit Shetty is on board as presenter, along with AVS Studios and Tudip Entertainment. Abhishek S Vyas and Dipti Agarwal are the producers, with Priyanka Chaudhary as co-producer. The director is Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, who has worked under Rohit Shetty’s guidance for nearly 17 years.
From Uppena to a Hindi debut
Krithi Shetty entered films as a lead actor with the acclaimed 2020 title Uppena. She has since built a slate that includes Shyam Singha Roy (2021), Manamey (2024) and Love Insurance Kompany (2025). Her upcoming projects already include Genie, where she shares screen space with Kalyani Priyadarshan.
That makes her Hindi entry a well-timed crossover. Rather than arriving as an unknown name, she brings an existing fan base from two film industries, while Hum Tere Pyaar Mein gives her a familiar genre to open with.
Two debuts in one announcement
The film also marks a new beginning for its director. Vidhi Ghodgaonkar has spent close to 17 years inside Rohit Shetty’s creative setup. Rohit Shetty shared a picture of the clapboard on his Instagram story and congratulated her, giving the project a public blessing before the rest of the cast is revealed.
For Bollywood watchers, that is the more interesting thread: an established hitmaker attaching his name to a romantic entertainer from a long-time associate, with a fresh Hindi face carrying it.
What presented by brings
In industry practice, a presenter lends name recognition and helps a film with market visibility and distribution, while producers run the production. Having Rohit Shetty above the title alongside AVS Studios and Tudip Entertainment gives the movie a calling card from day one.
