South actor Srinidhi Shetty says she has no regrets about being called a "flowerpot" in her 2018 debut film ‘KGF: Chapter 1’, describing it as a "dream project" she consciously chose to be a part of.

In Prashanth Neel's blockbuster KGF franchise, Shetty played the spirited Reena Desai opposite Yash’s Rocky. Despite the limited scope of her role, the 32-year-old actor told PTI she was fully aware of its size from the beginning. "I didn’t mind being a flowerpot because when the project came to me, it was a dream. I knew my role was small, but I wanted to be part of it," she said. "Now, if you ask me whether I’d do similar roles again, I would think about it carefully. But there’s nothing wrong or right about it. It was a conscious choice."

Shetty credited KGF for her popularity, even if the film's success didn’t immediately translate into more work. "The fame and love I received are because of KGF. It takes time, and I also take my time choosing what I want to do," she said, adding that success hadn't changed her as a person.

Up next, Shetty will be seen in ‘HIT: The Third Case’, starring Telugu actor Nani. She plays Mrudula in the action thriller directed by Sailesh Kolanu. While her character is "Mrudula is a flowerpot," Nani emphasized it is not a typical flowerpot role.

Shetty recalled first meeting Nani at a film pooja, never imagining they would work together. "I was like a happy puppy, telling him how much we love him in Karnataka," she said.

‘HIT: The Third Case’ is set for release on May 1.
