Keerthy Suresh regrets not getting any work for 6 months after Mahanati

South Indian actor Keerthy Suresh has opened up about not receiving any film offers for six months after Mahanati's release on May 9, 2018.

The film won three National Film Awards including a Best Actress award for Keerthy Suresh at the 66th National Film Awards.

Keerthy Suresh was not deterred by the setback

Despite a slump in her career after the release of the critically acclaimed film, Mahanati, actor Keerthy Suresh remained positive. Despite winning a National Award, Keerthy was not offered any film for six months after the release of the film.

Keerthy played legendary actor Savitri in the biographical film Mahanati, directed by Nag Ashwin. Other popular faces such as Dulquer Salmaan, Samantha and Vijay Deverakonda also starred in crucial roles.

During a recent conversation, Keerthy Suresh addressed the lack of work. She said, "You won’t believe it — after Mahanati released, I didn't get any movie offers for six months. No one even narrated a story. I wasn’t disappointed because I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong. I took it positively, thinking people were taking time to shape a unique character for me. I used that gap for a makeover".

Keerthy Suresh took the lack of offers in her stride, and remained positive throughout the time until offers poured over.

Keerthy Suresh is a popular face across Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films. In 2024, the actor starred in the Atlee directed film, Baby John, marking her Bollywood debut. Varun Dhawan was her co-star.

Presently, the actor's upcoming film, Revolver Rita will release later this week, on November 28, 2025. K. Chandru and JK. Chandru have directed the film which also stars Radikaa Sarathkumar, Ajay Ghosh, Sunil, Redin Kingsley, Super Subbarayan and John Vijay.

The film has been produced by Sudhan Sundaram and Jagadish Palanisamy, while music composer is Sean Roldan.
