She signs her next film, Psycho Shankara, a biographical film, which was based on the life of Jai Shankar, a notorious Indian criminal. She was initially hesitant to accept the film, but after hearing the story and her character, she accepted the offer. Because of her naturally curly hair, she became popular as the “curly-haired queen of drama.” Besides acting, Amrutha is also a trained Bharatnatyam dancer and an aspiring playback singer.
