Vaani Kapoor reveals her dream action flick co-star
What's the story
Bollywood actor Vaani Kapoor, who recently played a detective in Mandala Murders, is keen on exploring the action genre. She has expressed her desire to star alongside Anushka Sharma or Katrina Kaif in an action film. "I have seen Katrina Kaif do some solid action in movies." Kapoor told Entertainment Times, "Anushka Sharma would also be good. I miss seeing her on screen... I used to love watching her as she is a very authentic and real actor."
Role perception
'Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi played many empowering roles...'
Kapoor also shared her thoughts on the changing definition of a heroine in Bollywood. She believes the heroines of the '80s and '90s were no strangers to strong and empowering portrayals. "Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi played many empowering roles. I have grown up watching their films and getting inspired by them," she said. "I feel that there were many roles written around women... Some films were ahead of their time, too." But Kapoor admits it went wrong somewhere in between.
Role preference
'Not an eye-candy role...': Kapoor
Kapoor also emphasized her desire for substantial roles, saying she doesn't want to be just a love interest. "Sometimes, when I'm just sitting in a narration, I think, 'Come on! Not an eye-candy role once again.'" "I don't want to play just a love interest. Give her some substance, make the role a little substantial."
Role dedication
'No role is big or small for me': Kapoor
Kapoor also stressed that she respects all characters, big or small. "During the narration, I can already feel the audience thinking, 'Iska role toh kuch nahi tha, why was she even there?'" "Having said that, all characters command respect. No role is big or small for me." "I give my 100% to create an impact with every character I play," she said.
