Nitya Menon entered the Telugu film industry through 'Ala Modalaindi directed by Nandini Reddy. Later, she played opposite Siddhartha in '180' which is yet to hit the screen.

The latest information is that she was reportedly selected as heroine opposite Naga Chaitanya for a film titled 'Autonagar Surya' under the direction of Deva Katta which is being produced by K Achireddy.

The script work for this film is in the final stages and the movie is expected to be in the backdrop of the rowdyism in Vijayawada. It is a surprise that Ram Gopal Varma had also selected Naga Chaitanya for a film with a similar backdrop (Rowdyism in Vijayawada) with the title 'Bejawada Rowdeelu'.
