Newbie
Ananya
Panday,
who
was
recently
seen
in
Maqbool
Khan's
Khaali
Peeli
alongside
Ishaan
Khatter,
couldn't
stop
boasting
about
her
on-screen
character
'Pooja'.
Speaking
about
her
character
Pooja-
a
typical
Bambaiya
girl,
Ananya
said,
"The
fact
that
Pooja
was
so
empowered
and
no
damsel
in
distress,
how
she
fought
for
herself,
really
drew
me
to
her
as
a
character.
She
was
a
full
Hindi-picture
hero
herself."
Ananya
also
shared
that
she
enjoyed
doing
action
scenes
in
Khaali
Peeli
and
is
keen
to
do
an
action
film,
in
which
she
could
play
the
lead
role.
"Doing
action
in
this
film
(Khaali
Peeli)
was
something
very
new
for
me
and
different,
but
I
had
a
blast.
Parvez
Bhai
and
his
team
made
it
feel
so
easy
for
me,
so
I
really
hope
to
do
action
in
more
films
or
maybe
even
an
action
film
someday," told
Ananya
to
a
leading
daily.
Well,
we're
sure
her
fans
would
be
delighted
to
see
Ananya
carrying
an
action
film
on
her
shoulders.
Meanwhile,
Ananya
is
busy
with
the
shooting
of
her
upcoming
film,
which
is
an
untitled
project
by
Shakun
Batra.
The
film
is
bankrolled
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions,
and
it
marks
the
first
collaboration
of
Ananya
with
Deepika
Padukone
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi.
Apart
from
that,
Ananya
has
one
more
film
in
her
kitty
i.e.,
Puri
Jagannadh's
Fighter.
The
romantic
action
entertainer
also
casts
Telugu
superstar
Vijay
Devarakonda
in
the
lead
role,
and
is
being
simultaneously
shot
in
Telugu
and
Hindi.
Earlier,
while
speaking
to
an
entertainment
portal,
Ananya
had
spoken
about
working
with
Deverakonda
and
said,
"I
have
yet
to
meet
someone
so
grounded
and
humble
despite
being
such
a
huge
star.
He
is
kind
and
soft-spoken."
We
must
say
that
2021
is
going
to
be
an
exciting
year
for
Ananya.
