Actor Dheekshith Shetty, known for his work across multiple South Indian languages, continues to diversify his career. Having started in Kannada with Dia, he gained wider recognition in the Telugu film industry with Dasara. His journey, rooted in a steady and story-first approach, is now marking milestones across formats and languages.
Recently, Dheekshith appeared in the Telugu web series Touch Me Not, which premiered on Jio Hotstar. This marks his debut in the web series space, where he plays a curious and youthful character. His physical transformation for the role, appearing noticeably younger, has been noted by audiences familiar with his earlier film appearances.
In Kannada, his recent films Blink and K.T.M. were well-received by local audiences. In Telugu, he had already caught attention through his role in Mugguru Monagallu. Two more Telugu projects—KJQ and The Girlfriend (co-starring Rashmika Mandanna)—are ready for release. Another film titled Bank of Bhagyashree is currently in the pipeline.
Apart from Kannada and Telugu, Dheekshith has also begun working in Tamil and Malayalam films, with projects in those languages now on floors. Additionally, he has announced a new film in collaboration with the director of Blink.
Dheekshith’s choices reflect a deliberate and team-oriented approach. While his pace may seem slow, the projects he takes on are rooted in solid storytelling and collaborative intent. His roles so far indicate a clear intent to experiment within a range of genres and formats.
With the release of Touch Me Not, Dheekshith has become more visible to a wider audience beyond regional boundaries, further establishing his presence in the South Indian entertainment industry.
