Kriti Shetty gained significant popularity after 'Uppena.' Despite having multiple opportunities, she struggled to choose the right stories, leading to underwhelming performances at the box office. While acknowledged as a talented actress, the string of flops posed a challenge to her career. Following a particular setback, she ventured into Tamil and Malayalam films, with currently only one Telugu project in hand.
Pooja Hegde, who entered the scene after Kriti Shetty, is also facing a challenging phase. Despite starring in major films like 'Acharya' and 'Radhe Shyam,' they failed to make an impact. She even missed out on a Salman Khan film and withdrew from significant projects like 'Guntur Kaaram.' Presently, she has only one Hindi movie in her lineup, with no projects in the South.
Rakul Preet Singh, once a busy heroine, is experiencing a dearth of opportunities in the South. After 'Kondapolam,' she hasn't returned to Tollywood and has 'Indian-2' as her sole South Indian project.
As their careers took a hit with movie failures, these actresses, who were once in demand, are now grappling to secure opportunities.
Despite their previous star status, they find themselves waiting for chances and endeavoring to stay in the spotlight by sharing new photos on social media.
In contrast, Samantha took a break and is reportedly making a comeback to films after achieving full physical fitness.
Currently, Sreeleela, Mrunal Thakur, Samyukta Menon, and Neha Shetty are garnering attention on the big screen.
