Vaani Kapoor opens up about her next big release Shamshera

Vaani Kapoor is presently basking in the huge success of her latest release Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021) where she played the character of a transgender girl. Also starring Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role, the coming-of-age film did not only receive great critical acclaim but also managed to do commercially well at the box office in spite of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Kapoor’s next Bollywood release is Shamshera. Produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, the dacoit drama sees the actress paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor for the first time. Seasoned actor Sanjay Dutt also plays a pivotal part in the much-anticipated film, directed by Karan Malhotra.

Talking to a leading publication, Kapoor opened up about her role in Shamshera. “At this moment, there is very little I am allowed to reveal about Shamshera. But I can say that it is a period drama and it is my first time with Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Karan Malhotra. I have been a fan of his (Karan Malhotra) since Agneepath came out. For me, it is a very different cinematic experience to be part of a film like this. I have never done something like this before and it is very high on drama, intense and with a gamut of emotions. I am looking forward to it. It is out in March,” the actress said.

Shamshera is slated to hit the marquee in March 2022.
