Gorgeous diva Kiara Advani is definitely looking to make inroads in Tollywood. After her impressive screen presence in Mahesh Babu’s Bharat Ane Nenu, Kiara bagged a plump offer in Ram Charan’s upcoming film with Boyapati Srinu.

Kiara is now one of the most sought after actressy in Tollywood. She is getting big ticket offers opposite star heroes. Reportedly, Kiara Advani is in talks to play the leading lady in Allu Arjun’s next film which will be helmed by Trivikram Srinivas. It is learnt that she is likely to sign the dotted after having a complete narration of her role.

As her Bollywood career didn’t take off as expected, Kiara wants to firmly establish as a South heroine. She is looking for meaty roles cement her place here.

Actress Kiara Advani, who is finishing the shoot for her Telugu film opposite Ram Charan and gearing up to work on the Akshay Kumar-starrer “Good News”, says that she wants to entertain audiences from across the country without differentiating between Bollywood and regional cinema.

“I want to be a pan-India entertainer and entertain everyone who wants to watch me. If there are good scripts regardless of the language, I would like to take them up and entertain as many people as I can,” Kiara told IANS.

“I am very fortunate that my first South film ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ did so well and became such a big blockbuster. It has been such a great experience that I would surely love to keep entertaining that audience as well,” she added.

Though Kiara started her career in 2014 and worked in several films, she got noticed by the audience and the film fraternity after the Netflix release “Lust Stories”. It was an anthology where she acted as a housewife in the segment directed by Karan Johar.

She is also making a special appearance in “Kalank”, a film which will be produced by Karan.

“Karan is a person who has done incredible films. He is somebody that I have always wanted to work with and he has put so much faith in me. I really want to make him proud and I want to work hard because he has been a huge support in my life,” said the actress, who shared how her life changed after “Lust Stories”.

“I have been getting a lot of exciting offers from writers and exciting scripts my way. There’s a lot of trust in me to play a lot of different characters and I would probably want to try all of it and work hard and live up to the expectations,” said the “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” actress.

Soon, she will start shooting for “Good News”. “I have started prepping for this film to get into this character”, she said.

While Kiara is enjoying her popularity in the film industry and on social media, she said that she takes the tag of ‘influencer’ with responsibility.

She has also associated with ‘Skechers Performance Walkathon’.

Kiara said: “I think we are in a position where we should influence responsibly. For the marathon, you probably need training but for a walkathon, you have been training since the time you were a year old. So, it’s the best way and the basic way to stay fit and active.”

‘Skechers Performance Walkathon’ will take place here on October 7 on the occasion of World Walking Day.

Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani shot fame in Tollywood with Mahesh’s Bharat Ane Nenu after which she never looked back. She is currently romancing Ram Charan in his next that would hit the screens during Sankranthi 2019. Her recent web series outing Lust Stories received exceptional response and soon Kiara Advani has been rushed with several offers. Not in a hurry, the actress inked a two film deal with top Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar.

She has been roped in to play a crucial role in Kalank that features Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead roles. The actress also has been approached to play one among the female leads in Akshay Kumar’s next that will have Kareena Kapoor as the female lead. This 25-year-old actress is not in a hurry and is picking up interesting movies.

Actress Kiara Advani, who made her acting debut with the 2014 release “Fugly”, went on to star in successful films like “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” and the Telugu political drama “Bharat Ane Nenu”. With “Kalank” and her digital anthology “Lust Stories”, she is excited for 2018 and says being versatile is her goal.

“2018 is an extremely exciting year for me as I’m exploring a wider audience… I’m doing a film in a language that I don’t know and working hard to master that, then there is a film for Netflix which will reach a global audience and of course the Hindi language film. The ability to reach out to such a diverse audience is just the most exciting,” Kiara told IANS in an e-mail interview.

“Lust Stories”, an Indian anthology film, consists of four short film segments directed by four different directors: Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Karan Johar and she says that the benefit of showing it digitally is that there is no restriction on creativity.

“Honestly, when we shot the film we didn’t know Netflix wanted to pick it up. It’s also the perfect platform given the content, it’s important (that) the film caters to the right audience and is not restricted creatively.

“While I was blessed to have Karan Sir (Karan Johar) direct me and hold my hand throughout, the character despite being a challenging role was liberating to perform,” said Kiara, who is also Pond’s brand ambassador.

She is also excited about “Kalank”, a film directed by Abhishek Varman and produced by Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala and Fox Star Studios. It stars Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles.

“It’s a beautifully written special appearance. And it’s the first time I’ll be seen in a commercial item song. To top it, it’s a period film so the costume and the look is very different for me, even I haven’t seen myself looking this way before.

“This is the first time I’m working with Manish Malhotra for a film so you can only imagine how glamorous his vision is and that was exciting. We have almost finished shooting my part for the film, I’m now looking forward to shooting with Madhuri Ma’am and sharing screen space with her is the cherry on the icing,” she said.

Kiara says that she wants to be an actor who can slip into any character without any baggage or stereotype.

“Being versatile is my goal,” she said.

But what about the complications in the film industry right now ?

“Personally, I feel blessed to be doing what I love doing so I focus on the positives and don’t know any other way of being. I can’t compare the times since I’ve only experienced this generation and I feel blessed to be chosen to play strong female characters,” said the 25-year-old.

The actress also says that “If you’re good you’ll stay.”

” But what’s important is luck and opportunity because no matter how good you are, if nobody gives you that opportunity then no one will ever know,” she said.
