Actress Vaani Kapoor returns with yet another movie in the form of ‘Shamshera’, where she has been matched opposite Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays the titular role.
While for Ranbir, saying yes to the script was a “no-brainer”, Vaani was especially astonished by the portrayal that she heard from the movie’s director Karan Malhotra.
The director has the same intensity and passion with regard to the portrayal and it shows in his creative inputs that jump out throughout the course of narration, as told by Vaani.
As per timesofindia.indiatimes.com, Vaani said, “Karan is one director who is passionately involved in the process of narration. There are background sounds that he makes, he talks about the props, and paints a dreamy picture of a scene.”
While it might sound funny on the face value, it does help an actor to a great extent in Vaani’s opinion.
She told, “This helps an actor a lot to get a grip on the narrative and the characters. Because you can envision it so well courtesy his narration, everything comes to life and flashes in front of your eyes.”
She added.”The narration of ‘Shamshera’ helped me to immediately pitch this character and design its dimensions accordingly. And, let me tell you, what you have seen of my character in the film’s trailer is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a lot more to her than meets the eye.”
Acting is a job that requires actors to make fast changes to their characters due to the varied characters they play. While some might find it simple to bounce from one character to different, Vaani is as yet figuring out how to let go of her characters.
She said, “I am still learning to fully disconnect from what I have done in the past because your characters are an extension of your personality and they stem from you. It gets difficult to detach because I hold these characters very close to my heart, having lived with them and nurtured them for so long.”
Interestingly for her, the scenes which are fairly simple to pull off are the toughest in her own words. While doing complex scenes or sequences works out easily for her, the simplicity of a scene is something that she gets perplexed with.
