Vaani Kapoor on Shamshera- “I have put myself out there in a big way”
Written by Swaati on February 21, 2022
Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor ended 2021 with a bang as she reaped in all the love for her sensitive performance as a transgender woman in the hugely acclaimed Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. She was paired opposite the poster boy of content cinema in India, Ayushmann Khurrana, and won unanimous acclaim for her acting skills. When the film was released on OTT in January 2022, Vaani was showered with love again as the film reached out to a different set of audiences who praised her for handling an unconventionally tricky role with so much sensitivity and grace.
Vaani is all set to be seen in the big-ticket action spectacle Shamshera that releases on July 22, 2022. She has been paired opposite the heartthrob of the nation, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vaani is hoping that this year turns out to be the best year of her career.
She says, “I’m hoping that it’s my best year in cinema. I’m still getting love from Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, a film that will always be supremely special for me. It is hugely gratifying for any artist to be validated with a lot of positivity for the work that you do and it happened to me and I couldn’t be happier. I wish to get the same love from people for what I have done in Shamshera.”
About her performance in the Karan Malhotra directorial, Vaani says, “I have put myself out there in a big way and you will know what I mean when you see the film. It’s been a fulfilling experience to push myself so much for a movie. So, here’s hoping that after CKA, Shamshera too will be a film that people see and say that I can be trusted to do anything on screen, that I would never back down from being part of a novel vision, and that I would always try to reinvent myself into doing something new.”
Shamshera is being produced by Yash Raj Films and will release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
