Much before making her Hindi film debut in 2016 with 'Raaz Reboot', Kriti Kharbanda had a flourishing career in South cinema. After appearing in several ad films, she was cast as the lead actor in the Kannada film 'Boni' opposite Sumanth in 2009. While the film received a negative reaction, the actress received a positive response from the audience. 

Here are some of the films featuring the actress made in Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil languages  

Googly (2013) 
Much before KGF became pan-India phenomenon making actor Yash popular, Kriti worked with him in 'Googly'. The film follows the story of Sharath and Swathi, who fall in love but get separated due to some misunderstandings. They reunite a few years later at a friend's wedding. 

Teen Maar (2011) 

Despite her debut Telugu film not doing wonders, she landed a prominent role in Teen Maar opposite Pawan Kalyan. The film follows the story of a man who reconsiders his ideas about love in the modern world after he hears a love story from 40 years ago. Kriti plays the role of Vasumathi in the film.

But when they are discarded by him after they commit a murder to aid his political plans, they plot revenge. For the film, Kriti played a de-glam role for the first time. She called Girija the most challenging character she had played till then, since it required a no-makeup look, getting a tan and walking barefoot to attain 'a raw look' like the role demanded. For the film, she also designed her costumes along with her mother.

This is one of Kriti's many films released in the year. The film follows the story of Ranga, a young boy who seeks thrills in life. He falls in love with Swathi but still misses the thrill he wants; Swathi then marries a police officer and he takes on a secret avatar to deal with it.
