Mumbai: Actress Adah Sharma, who rose to fame after her 2023 hit film ‘The Kerala Story’, is gearing up to play a Goddess in her upcoming trilingual project.
“It is empowering because Devi is Shakti. I believe that there is Devi in every single woman. I feel fortunate that I’m getting the opportunity to work with such talented film makers from across our country. BM Giriraj sir is a national award-winning director, and he is directing the film,” Adah said.
Asked if playing a Goddess comes with a sense of responsibility, she said, “Yes, it is a responsibility, but that is a good thing. It doesn’t give me anxiety. I like responsibility, and of course, if you are playing Devi, there should be a responsibility there. It’s not something that should be taken frivolously. But it’s not something that I think of going wrong or anything because I respect that responsibility.”
On getting good offers after the success of ‘The Kerala Story’, Adah shared, “I believe no one owes anyone anything or any work. If people want to work with someone, they give them work and I’m fortunate to have people wanting to give me different kinds of roles.”
She continued, “A lot of times actors get typecast and even though they want to do different things, they can’t because maybe the audience doesn’t accept them in those. But I think the audience has also been kind to me and every time I try a different character, no one really had a problem with it.”
“I’m not from the industry, so I feel that any opportunity I get, I’m very grateful. From the beginning of my career, to get 1920 as my debut film, I got to showcase my acting range. I think I’ve got way more than I could have ever imagined. So, I act from that place of gratitude. Yes, my film has crossed ₹350 crores, but the numbers of hearts that I have gotten a permanent place in is better,” she added.
Adah’s upcoming film will be released in Kannada, Tamil and Hindi.
