“I am open to doing films in any genre,” says Shraddha Kapoor

Shraddha Kapoor, who completes a decade in showbiz in 2020, has established herself as one of the leading actresses of Bollywood over the years. She was last seen in Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment’s actioner Baaghi 3 (2020), which could not do the kind of business it was expected to, due to the Coronavirus scare.

However, Kapoor is not perturbed by the underwhelming performance of Baaghi 3. “I have learned a lot through the films which may have not done well at the box office,” she tells a publication.


The actress made her Tollywood debut last year with the high-profile film Saaho (2019) alongside Prabhas. She says that her father, popular actor Shakti Kapoor, always encourages her to do films in other languages as well.

“He has done South films as well, and he encourages me to do films in any language, saying language need not be any barrier. Last year I was afflicted by dengue and at that time, my dad would get worried and say, ‘No way, if you are unwell, you should not go’. So, like any father, he too gets worried about my well-being,” she shares.

Shraddha, who debuted with Teen Patti (2010), has played a wide variety of roles in her career so far. She says that she likes to keep trying new things. “I have no conscious strategy for choosing any genre of films and I am open to doing films in any genre, even if I may not have done it before. I just try to make sure that I am playing varied characters. I love to be a part of good films, so I allow myself to go with the flow,” she concludes.

The actress next stars in an untitled film with Ranbir Kapoor. It will be directed by successful writer-director Luv Ranjan.

I gave up cinema for my fans, says actor Vijay

Speaking at the audio launch of his film Jana Nayagan in Malaysia, Vijay said his decision was driven by the loyalty and support of his fans. In Tamil Nadu, the word kottai symbolises a stronghold and also refers to Fort St George in Chennai, which houses the state assembly, secretariat and the chief minister’s office.
