Kiara
Advani
made
her
debut
in
Bollywood
with
the
2014
film
Fugly
which
was
produced
by
Akshay
Kumar.
Now,
the
actress
will
be
seen
playing
the
superstar's
love
interest
in
their
upcoming
film
Laxmii.
Before
this
horror-comedy,
the
duo
worked
together
in
Good
Newzz
which
hit
the
screens
last
year.
In
a
recent
interaction,
Kiara
got
candid
about
being
launched
by
Akshay
Kumar
to
working
with
him
in
Laxmii.
The
actress
also
revealed
why
she
agreed
to
do
this
horror-comedy.
Q.
You
were
launched
by
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
industry.
Now,
you
are
have
done
two
films
with
him.
Tell
us
about
your
experience
working
with
him
now
that
you're
paired
with
him?
A.
Life's
come
a
full
circle,
from
being
launched
in
the
movies
to
being
the
leading
actress
in
a
film
with
Akshay
Sir.
There's
always
so
much
to
learn
from
him,
from
his
work
ethics
to
the
energy
as
an
actor
that
he
brings
to
a
scene.
When
we
worked
together
on
good
news
I
was
a
bit
intimidated
working
with
Sir,
I
wouldn't
speak
as
much.
I
would
silently
listen
and
observe
him
on
set,
the
way
he
would
improvise
and
add
so
much
life
to
a
scene
always
inspired
me.
By
the
time
we
started
working
on
Laxmi
I
had
opened
up,
felt
more
confident
and
the
journey
has
been
amazing.
Q.
Kabir
Singh
which
was
a
South
remake
was
a
success,
Laxmii
too
is
a
remake
of
a
South
film.
Do
you
think
Laxmii
will
have
the
same
fate
as
Kabir
Singh?
A.
I
can't
compare
the
two.
Each
film
has
its
own
destiny.
Laxmi
is
a
horror-comedy
and
also
a
family
entertainer.
I
believe
the
film
has
its
heart
in
the
right
place
just
like
Kabir
Singh
did
so
I
hope
the
magic
happens
again.
Q.
What
made
you
say
yes
to
this
film,
Laxmii?
A.
There
are
some
films
which
are
so
entertaining
that
you
just
want
to
be
a
part
of
it.
That's
how
I
felt
when
I
heard
the
narration
of
Laxmi.
I
liked
the
way
my
character
ties
the
screenplay
together.
It's
a
commercial
film
which
I
haven't
really
done
before
it's
a
new
space
for
me
as
well
and
I'm
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
film.
Q.
Have
you
watched
the
original
film
Kanchana?
A.
I've
seen
scenes
from
Kanchana
which
Raghav
Sir
showed
me
on
set
while
we
were
shooting
for
Laxmi.
We
were
actually
fortunate
that
Raghav
sir
who
has
directed
and
acted
in
the
original
has
directed
Laxmi
because
no
one
knows
the
film
better
than
him
and
he
brings
magic
to
the
film.
Directed
by
Raghava
Lawrence,
Laxmmi
is
slated
to
premiere
on
November
9,
2020
on
Disney+
Hostar.
