Vaani Kapoor finally made her OTT debut with Mandala Murders and has been getting positive reviews. Recently, she shared some fun personal favourites during a candid conversation. When asked which actress's hair she admires the most, the Mandala Murders star was quick to name veteran actress Dimple Kapadia.
In a conversation with Zoom, Vaani Kapoor revealed that she is fond of Dimple Kapadia's hair and praised Shah Rukh Khan. Vaani Kapoor was quoted saying, 'Dimple Kapadia's beautiful hair. I don't know what she applies. I want to buy all the products. She has such stunning hair. She is very stunning." When asked about the male actor, the Mandala Murders actress said, 'Everything about Shah Rukh Khan is lovely."
Vaani opens up doing less films:
In the same interview, she said, 'I would love to do more films, but it is not easy to get the right film. In my case, it hasn't been easy. Sometimes, you have to wait for something good to come along, even for something marginally new. The intention is to hold on to self-belief and back oneself even in the times that are not the best. I never run after money and the perks of being an actor. I am craving good work, proving something and being one of the best in my line of work. That's the intention."
Fawad Khan, Vaani Kapoor's Abir Gulaal Headed For World Premiere, To Skip India Release:
After months of speculation, delays, and controversy, Abir Gulaal, which was speculated to be Pakistani actor Fawad Khan's much-awaited Bollywood comeback, will reportedly release outside of India. The film, now officially titled Aabir Gulaal, will have its world premiere on August 29, according to a recent report by Biz Asia. The film stars Vaani Kapoor as the leading lady.
Abir Gulaal's journey to the big screen has been anything but smooth. Originally slated for a May 9 release in the country, the film faced repeated setbacks, especially after the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. In the wake of the incident, plans for an Indian theatrical release were put on indefinite hold.
Vaani Kapoor's OTT debut:
Vaani Kapoor has finally made her debut in the OTT space with YRF's new crime thriller Mandala Murders, now streaming on Netflix. While fans are praising her portrayal of the gritty CIB officer Rea Thomas, the actress admits she is experiencing 'a lot of anxiety" surrounding the release. In a recent interview, Vaani spoke about her transition from films to OTT, the challenges of portraying a hardened police officer and how she copes with feedback and criticism.
Mandala Murders is helmed by Gopi Puthra. It's more than just a crime thriller. The show weaves together elements of mystery, supernatural horror and psychological drama. Set in the fictional town of Charandaspur, the story follows CIB officer Rea Thomas as she investigates a case involving ritualistic killings. Alongside Vaani Kapoor, Manadala Murders also stars Vaibhav Raj Gupta and Surveen Chawla in significant roles. The series is currently streaming on Netflix.
