Ananya Panday is on a roll after the success of Kesari Chapter 2. The young actress is now eager to take on more challenging roles that push her out of her comfort zone. Having made her Bollywood debut in 2019 with Student of the Year 2, Ananya has already proven her versatility in films like Gehraaiyan and CTRL.
In a recent chat with Film Companion, Ananya opened up about her desire to experiment with different genres and characters. She said, “I don’t want to be typecast; I want to dive deeper into my craft and take on roles that challenge me.” Ananya is keen to shed her existing image and explore new facets of her acting abilities.
Breaking Free from Typecasting
Ananya’s latest film, Kesari Chapter 2, has been a huge success, earning around ₹81.5 crore in its first three weeks at the box office. The historical drama, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, stars Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan alongside Ananya. Her performance as Dilpreet Gill has garnered praise from both critics and fans.
With films like Pati Patni Aur Woh and the OTT series Call Me Bae under her belt, Ananya is now looking to diversify her portfolio. She believes that sticking to just one genre would be unfair to her fans. By taking on more complex characters, Ananya aims to showcase her range and grow as an actress.
The Road Ahead
As Ananya looks to the future, she’s clear about her goals. She wants to challenge herself with roles that are demanding and different from what she’s done before. With Kesari Chapter 2’s success boosting her confidence, Ananya is ready to take on new projects that will help her grow as an artist. Her journey is a testament to her determination to evolve and explore the depths of her craft.
