Rising Bollywood star Sharvari is on fire in 2024, with her highly anticipated film "Vedaa" set to hit theaters on August 15. This film marks her third major release of the year and is her first foray into the action genre. Following her standout roles in the horror-comedy blockbuster "Munjya" and the Netflix sensation "Maharaj," Sharvari is gearing up to prove her mettle in high-octane action sequences.
Sharvari’s Big Leap into Action
"Vedaa" is more than just a new role for Sharvari; it's a bold step into uncharted territory. Directed by the acclaimed Nikkhil Advani, this film casts Sharvari in the title role, where she battles a repressive system with boxing as one of her key weapons. It’s a significant shift from her previous work and a chance for her to redefine her career.
"I want to be known as someone who can do action very well and hopefully become an action star in due course of time," Sharvari shared in an interview with Variety. "I'm willing to put everything on the line for it to happen. Action as a genre is too entertaining and gives a huge adrenaline rush for the actors as well as the audience. ‘Vedaa' is the start of my journey in trying to be good at it."
John Abraham: A Mentor Like No Other
One of the most exciting elements of "Vedaa" is Sharvari’s collaboration with John Abraham, a titan of action cinema in India. Abraham didn’t just act alongside her; he took on the role of mentor, guiding Sharvari through the complexities of action choreography.
"Having the country's biggest action superstar John Abraham was a game changer for me," Sharvari admitted. "He's now my mentor in action on and off-screen." Their training sessions in Jodhpur and Mumbai were intense and eye-opening for Sharvari. She recalls her early days on set with a mix of confusion and excitement: "I was a rookie to action films while filming ‘Vedaa,' so the first day I was very confused with all this information thrown at me. I remember looking at John and saying ‘I don't understand what they've just told me, what do I do?' And he said, ‘You just follow my instructions and we'll be good.'"
Sharvari’s recounting of her experiences highlights Abraham’s dedication and patience. "I used to ask him a lot of questions and he answered them all very patiently," she said. This mentorship not only shaped her performance in "Vedaa" but also set the stage for her future endeavors in action cinema.
Looking Ahead: "Alpha" and Beyond
Sharvari’s action-packed journey doesn’t end with "Vedaa." She’s already lined up for her next big project in the Yash Raj Films' spy universe film "Alpha," where she’ll share the screen with Alia Bhatt. "‘Alpha' will be more hardcore for me and I feel every day being on the sets of ‘Alpha' is a masterclass in learning how to do action," Sharvari revealed. "I will try to seek out good action scripts where I get to do daredevil stunts that leading men of our industry get to do."
Her enthusiasm for action is palpable. "I’m loving throwing the punches, doing the action chases, and being thrown everywhere on set," Sharvari said. It’s clear she’s found a new passion in action films and is excited to explore it further.
A New Era for Bollywood Action
With "Vedaa" set to debut soon and Sharvari’s upcoming role in "Alpha," the landscape of Bollywood action films is getting a fresh new look.
