Actress Shruti Reddy is making her debut in the OTT space with the Telugu romantic drama series Nuvvunte Naa Jatagaa, which is currently streaming on Kuku TV. The series features Manoj Nandam in the male lead role and is directed by Rajagiri and produced by Pawan Kumar.
Shruti Reddy, who earlier made her Tamil feature film debut as a female lead with Marina Puratchi, plays the character of Madhavi Sreelatha, an innocent nurse whose life takes an unexpected turn after she encounters Viraj Vardhan, a powerful mafia don portrayed by Manoj Nandam.
The story explores how their relationship develops through fear, conflicts, emotional struggles and unexpected circumstances, eventually leading towards love. The character offers Shruti an opportunity to showcase different shades of her acting abilities.
Madhavi Sreelatha undergoes a significant transformation from an innocent and vulnerable woman into a courageous, confident and emotionally mature individual.Speaking about her OTT debut, Shruti Reddy said, “Madhavi Sreelatha is a very special character for me because of the versatility it offered me as an actor. She starts off as an innocent nurse, but as the story progresses, she faces difficult situations, betrayal and emotional challenges, which bring out a much stronger side of her. I feel very lucky to have such a layered character as my first OTT role.”
She further added, “I am currently working on two Tamil feature films, so I am happy to explore this opportunity in Telugu as well. I have always been interested in challenging roles, and I genuinely enjoyed playing Madhavi and gave my best to the character.”
Shruti Reddy has an impressive educational background. She completed her B.Tech in Engineering from Gokaraju Rangaraju Institute of Engineering and Technology, Hyderabad, followed by an MBA from SRM University, Chennai.
Before entering the film industry, she worked as a life coach, an experience that helped her understand human emotions and different perspectives. Driven by her passion for acting, she later received professional training at Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares in Mumbai and Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre Arts Research in Puducherry.
Apart from films and OTT projects, Shruti has also made her presence felt in the advertising industry. She has worked on campaigns for recognised brands such as Blinkit and Marriott Hotels, along with advertisements for saree, jewellery and lifestyle brands.
With experience spanning feature films, OTT entertainment and commercial advertisements, Shruti Reddy is steadily expanding her presence across regional entertainment industries.
With Nuvvunte Naa Jatagaa marking her Telugu OTT debut and two Tamil feature films currently in progress, the actress is looking forward to taking on more diverse and challenging roles.
