Sandhya Shetty makes her debut in Malayalam with Priyadarshan's ‘Corona Papers’

Riding high on the success of ‘Dharavi Bank’ where she played the docile daughter of Thalaivan, ‘Parvathy’, Sandhya Shetty is excited and looking forward to her Malayalam debut in Priyadarshan's directorial ‘Corona Papers’, which also happens to be her second rendezvous with the director. She has earlier worked with the director in Tamil Film ‘Nimir’.
“Working with Priyadarshan sir is an honour.He is a gurukul, I learned so much from him during the course of my shoot. He is one of the few directors who knows the nerves of the audience and delivers exactly that to them,” Sandhya Shetty shares.
Her last OTT outing which also happens to be her OTT debut fetched her much deserved applause for her acting prowess. An extremely focused and passionate actor, Sandhya just completed a hectic schedule of 45 days of shoot in Kochi for Corona Papers and the actress fell in love with the beauty of the city, she definitely is going for the Mollywood vibe more. During her off time from shooting, she also managed to explore the city, its culture and cuisine.
Her unfulfilled dream of becoming an Army officer or a cop in real life got its way through the film. She has enjoyed wearing the uniform and experienced the joy of being a tough cop and her karate training has surely helped her in this role. “In a man's world where women are timid, I wish to empower everyone playing the role of a cop. With ‘Corona Papers’, I aim to create awareness about "No fear" amongst women ''.
Shetty is a bunt and speaks Tullu language but Malayalam was definitely a tough language to crack, and she calls it the ‘French of South language’ with crazy tongue twisters.
From being a supermodel to her 22 years of karate career and making India proud with a Commonwealth Gold medal in 2015 she is now exploring the world of cinema. In the past, she has spelled her magic in Bengali film ‘Kaal’ with National award-winning Director Bappaditya Bandhopadhyay and enjoyed the Bengali streak of creativity.

As an actor, Sandhya loves doing all kinds of cinema and finds language no barrier. She wants to explore Bollywood, Marathi, and South films and also taste the other side of the world - Hollywood.
