Kayadu Lohar is one of those actresses who rose to fame quickly. Her film Dragon with Pradeep Ranganathan took the box office by storm and her performance was praised by all.

Kayadu Lohar recently shared interesting details about her life before entering films. Her words quickly became popular on social media. Speaking about her past Kayadu said "Before coming to films I did many jobs. I worked at Starbucks and also at a clothing store. I worked in many IT companies like WNS Concentrix and Verizon Media."

Kayadu also spoke openly about her struggle with technology. She said "Funny part is I am not good with laptops. I do not know how to use it." This surprised many people because she had worked in IT companies earlier. She further added "In all these companies I have worked only till training period."

Today Kayadu Lohar is slowly making her place in Telugu cinema. She was recently seen in the film Funky opposite Vishwak Sen. The film is directed by Anudeep KV and focuses on the struggles of a young film director who faces repeated failures in his career. The film did not do well at the box office but the actress had huge expectations for the film.

Even though Funky did not perform well in theatres, the film is now preparing for its OTT release. Reports say the movie is expected to release on Netflix on March 13 2026. The film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. Some reports also suggest that the film may arrive earlier in the first week of March.

Critics felt that Kayadu Lohar delivered a natural performance in the film. Her journey from small jobs to films shows that success does not come easily for everyone. On the other hand, she will next be seen in Nani’s The Paradise.
