I am not used as a filler in Shamshera: Vaani Kapoor

Vaani Kapoor is one of the most fascinating actors to have graced B-Town. Her filmography has great variety, from ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ to ‘Befikre’, ‘War’ and ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’. She has gradually made her mark as a dependable heroine who gets into the skin of the character. In a recent interaction with a leading entertainment news portal, Vaani was asked about what her role was like and how much it was, given that ‘Shamshera’ looks more like a male-centric film that is high on testosterone.

Vaani said that she is not used just as a filler and that she has a subsequent and important role to play in the film. She agreed that as the title suggests, the film is about ‘Shamshera’, but added that there are other strong and author-backed characters in the film too, to make the film stronger. She also accepted that it is not right to expect every film to be driven by a female lead and she is ok with it. When she reads the script, she knows what works for her and what doesn’t. The ‘War’ star went on to say how the character of Sona in ‘Shamshera’ added more value to her life, how she was able to look at herself from another person’s vision and how ‘Shamshera’ allowed her to better her craft as an actor.

She concluded by saying,

“When you are working with the best of the best, you feel like you are learning only, because the learning is ongoing, on the film sets, because I have never gone to a film school. This is the best learning I could have asked for.”

After ‘Shamshera’, Vaani Kapoor is expected to see in ‘War 2’. She has another project in her kitty, but she has confirmed that she will announce it later.

‘Brahmastra’, directed by Ayan Mukerji and co-starring his wife Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna.
