## Ambajipeta Marriage Band
Her most discussed role to date is Padma in *Ambajipeta Marriage Band* (2 February 2024), directed by debutant Dushyanth Katikaneni[4](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/ambajipeta-marriage-band/movie-review/107343459.cms). The film is set in 2007 in the village of Ambajipeta, where Padmavathi, a government school teacher, and her twin brother Mallikarjun, a barber and marriage-band drummer, come from a lower caste and become entangled in a conflict with the village head[10](https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/ambajipeta-marriage-band-telugu-movie-review.html) • [4](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/ambajipeta-marriage-band/movie-review/107343459.cms).
The role drew wide critical praise. The Times of India review wrote that Pradeep "delivers a strong performance (particularly in the second half), depicting the resilience and courage of a woman in a challenging social environment"[4](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/ambajipeta-marriage-band/movie-review/107343459.cms). The Ottplay review called her the film's show-stealer, said she "gets the role of her life and gives an award-winning performance," and predicted the film would be a turning point in her career[6](https://www.ottplay.com/review/ambajipeta-marriage-band-review-the-suhas-saranya-pradeep-starrer-has-engaging-drama-solid-performances-and-is-thought-provoking/34270ed87f544). Cinejosh likewise described her as the show-stealer, noting her range from calm composure to anger in a character who prioritizes self-respect[11](https://www.cinejosh.com/reviews/ambajipeta-marriage-band/1580).
In a March 2024 interview with ABP Desam, Pradeep said she had feared how audiences would receive a scene involving nudity in the film, and that her husband's encouragement led her to perform it; after the premiere she said no one treated the scene as vulgar, though she was upset by sensationalized video thumbnails of it on some channels[12](https://telugu.abplive.com/entertainment/cinema/actress-sharanya-pradeep-about-ambajipeta-marriage-band-movie-149332).
