The debut projects of Bollywood starkids often gain popularity before the film even goes on floor. Same is the case with Shanaya Kapoor. Daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor, Shanaya is set to make her debut through a Karan Johar film. Recently, she talked about how she is prepping for her part ahead of the filming.

She said, "I'm extremely excited and looking forward to shooting the film. I have been doing several readings with my director, and been having lots of discussions on my character brief and breakdown of the scenes." The 21 year old worked as an assistant director on the film 'Gunjan Saxena' in an attempt to get the hang of how film sets work. "I think understanding the skin and honesty of a character is important," she says.

Shanaya's debut film will be directed by Shashank Khaitan and it will also star Gurfateh Pirzada and Laksh Lalwani.
