Anushka Shetty apparently cried for a year because of a movie she did in her career. But that same film changed her destiny, helping her become a lady superstar in Tollywood.

It's tough for new heroines to establish themselves. They must impress with acting and glamour in their debut. Despite becoming a lady superstar, Anushka's first film was a nightmare.

Anushka debuted opposite Nagarjuna in 'Super'. While the film gave her recognition, she cried for a year. Puri Jagannadh spotted her as a yoga teacher and insisted she audition.

I went to the audition and cried seeing another girl's glamorous poses, thinking I had to do the same. But Nagarjuna saw my potential and gave me the role, which is why he's special.

I cried for a year doing 'Super' and wanted to quit. My family is traditional, and I wasn't used to wearing modern, short clothes or being close with strangers, said Anushka.

I couldn't handle wearing short clothes and cried for a year, said Anushka. She got used to the industry later. She mentioned that the one film she wishes she hadn't done is 'Okka Magadu'.
