Vaani Kapoor Wishes To Hope That Filmmakers Will Be Confident To Approach Her For Any Role

Vaani Kapoor has quite literally shattered this notion that she can just be a pretty face and play the second fiddle to her heroes in her movies by delivering a remarkable performance in Chandigarh Kare Ashiqui. The actress played a transgender woman alongside Ayushmann Khurrana in the movie who is struggling for love, respect and acceptance. Currently riding high with the success of the movie, Vaani in a recent statement said that she hopes that filmmakers will approach her for any kind of a challenging role in their movies.

I have always wanted to win over their trust and be a part of interesting cinematic visions of powerful filmmakers."

In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, Vaani Kapoor had also confessed how people used to think that she can only be a 'good dancer' onscreen. The War actress had said, "Everywhere, people would say, 'You dance really well', and I would be like, 'I also act'. Maybe I don't get that meaty parts enough to showcase [my acting skills]. I am not trying to be immodest here and say 'I know how to act' and of course, it's also the director (Abhishek Kapoor) who has presented me in a certain way in this film, and it worked."

On the work front, Vaani Kapoor will be seen next in the movie Shamshera. The movie will also be starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. It will be helmed by Karan Malhotra.
