Shanaya Kapoor's South Indian Film Debut In Mohanlal's Vrushabha

Shanaya Kapoor, who is set to make her mark in Bollywood with a Karan Johar film, is also reported to be a part of Vrushabha. The film featuring Mohanlal is reportedly produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Nanda Kishore.

According to India Today's exclusive sources, the film revolves around a father-son relationship, and Shanaya Kapoor's character plays a pivotal role in bridging the past and the present.

Kapoor's role is described as dynamic, glamorous, and performance-oriented in this high-octane action drama, which also features a period setting.

Vrushabha, an upcoming pan-India film, draws similarities to the Telugu blockbuster Magadheera, directed by SS Rajamouli. Like Magadheera, Vrushabha revolves around themes of love and revenge, narrating a story that explores whether love triumphs over revenge or vice versa. The film will primarily be shot in Telugu and Malayalam and is expected to have a pan-India release, appealing to audiences across South India.

Meanwhile, Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor, was initially set to make her Bollywood debut with Dharma Productions' film Bedhadak. The film garnered attention when it was launched in 2021 with character posters featuring Shanaya and her co-stars, Gurfateh Pirzada and Laksh Lalwani. However, reports last year suggested that the film had been shelved, despite producer Karan Johar denying those claims.

The film Bedhadak, set initially to be directed by Shashank Khaitan, was intended to be a romantic thriller centred around a love triangle. However, according to official sources, the film has been indefinitely postponed, leading to a delay in its production.

In a previous interview, Kapoor expressed her desire for the audience to perceive her debut role as something she had earned through hard work. She shared her nervousness and excitement, emphasising the importance of doing her best as it marks not just her first film but also the initial stride towards a potentially long and diverse career. She mentioned that realising her childhood dream brings forth a blend of emotions.
