Following a brief appearance in the Hindi film Super 30, Shetty made her debut in a lead role, aged 17, with the Telugu film Uppena directed by Buchi Babu Sana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings. The film was commercially successful at the box office, collecting over ₹100 crore (US$13 million). Reviewing her performance, The Times of India's Neeshitha Nyayapati wrote: "The debutants Vaisshnav and Krithi manage to pull off the intricacies of their characters well for the most part.

Shetty only shot her portions in Telugu. The film received negative reviews from critics and was a huge commercial failure.
