In 2012, she signed her first leading role in Kollaikaran.[7]

Recognition and other films (2013–present)[edit | edit source]

Shetty has played female lead character in Nalan Kumarasamy's black comedy Soodhu Kavvum which was a critical and commercial success, and it is to be considered biggest success in her career.[8] She played an imaginary character in the film, which was received well. Sify wrote, "Sanchita Shetty as his (Vijay Sethupathy) girlfriend is smashing and delivers some one-liners with perfect lip sync".[9] The film went on to be remade in several other Indian languages and Shetty expressed interest in reprising the role in its remakes as well.[10] Then, she is paired with Ashok Selvan in Pizza II: Villa (2013).[11]

In 2016, Shetty made her return to the Kannada film industry with Badmaash (directed by Akash Srivatsa), in which she played a radio jockey.[12] In Tamil, she continued to perform simultaneously as Ennodu Vilayadu (2017), Rum (2017), Engitta Modhathey (2017), Yenda Thalaiyila Yenna Vekkala (2018) and Johnny (2018). Later, she appeared in Devadas Brothers (2021) and Vinodhaya Sitham (2021). She appeared in the supporting cast in the thriller Bagheera (2023) as well as a lead actress in Pallu Padama Paathukka (2023) and Azhagiya Kanne (2023).
