Actress Vaani Kapoor is all set to appear alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming period action flick 'Shamshera'. The trailer of the film was released a while back and it featured Vaani in a really glamorous avatar which balanced the otherwise grim and dark theme of the film. In a recent media conversation, the actress opened up about her character and shared what tempted her to take it up.

According to a recent report in The Indian Express, Vaani said, "I play the character of Sona, the most sought after travelling performer of India in the 1800s. I have always chosen roles where my character pivots the script in a certain direction and in Shamshera too, Sona plays an important role in building the narrative. I am thankful to Karan Malhotra for seeing me in this role. He held my hand at every step of the way and guided me to bring Sona to life.”

Vaani further added, "Sona has a strong will power, she’s confident, a go getter yet has her own emotional vulnerabilities. She’s definitely one of the most refreshing characters I have played on screen. I am teaming up with Ranbir Kapoor – a powerhouse of talent. He’s truly a very special actor and my personal favourite.”

'Shamshera' is set to release theatrically on 22nd of July this year.
