Actor Vaani Kapoor says the greed to play "the most important and impactful" characters is never-ending, but she is trying to gradually build a filmography that boasts of good projects. The 32-year-old actor, who will next be seen in the spy thriller ‘Bellbottom’, said she is building her own path to success. "Everyone is charting their own course in the industry. You cannot copy somebody else's career structure, follow their path and get success... I picked the best from what came to me and out of that what works and what doesn't is destiny," Kapoor, who entered Bollywood in 2013 with ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’, told PTI in an interview. She further said she has chosen to be part of those films in her career that have given her a sense of "contentment" "You are not always lucky with films where everything is going to be 50:50 or your character is going to be the sole driving force of a film. It is never going to be like that. There will be certain films that will not be driven by your character."
In the upcoming film based on true events and directed by Ranjit M Tewari, the actor plays the wife to Akshay Kumar's undercover agent codenamed 'Bellbottom' who is on a mission to rescue hostages from a hijacked Indian plane. Kapoor said she is aware that she has a "small role" in ‘Bellbottom’ but chose to be part of the film as she was hooked to the basic premise of the film. She didn't want to let go the opportunity of working with Kumar, she added. "The character does have a surprise element which is not there in the trailer. She is very different from Tara of 'Shuddh Desi Romance' or Shyra of 'Befikre'. Besides, it was interesting to be paired opposite Akshay Kumar, he is a big megastar. "There are certain stars who are loved by the masses and to share a screen space with them is a huge boost for an actor because you also get to connect with his audience. And my father is a huge fan of his, it is literally like I have fulfilled his wish."
Vaani, known for her work in Ranveer Singh-starrer ‘Befikre’ and Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff's ‘War’, said she aims to make her presence felt in every film irrespective of the length of the role. —PTI
