All Eyes On Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui

Abhishek Kapoor is lucky for  his  leading actors. His Rock On Made Farhan Akhtar  a household name. Kai Po Che turned Sushant Singh Rajput into  an overnight  movie star. Kedarnath  brought the spunky Sara Ali Khan  to the fore.And Fitoor, though a  failure at the boxoffice showed Aditya Roy Kapoor could act.

 In Abhishek Kapoor’s  Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui which opens this week, its leading man  Ayushmann Khurran  has  nothing to prove. He has already consolidated  his position a reliable game-changing  actor with  a boxoffice clout.

 It is  the  film’s leading lady Vani Kapoor who I suspect will  go to another level  of success with Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. Vani plays a transgender woman in love with  a  cisgender man.

Apparently many  of the leading ladies in Bollywood said no to the  role until Vani stepped in and took  over the character.

“She  brings  a certain style  and freshness  to the film that one has rarely seen  in our films,” says director  Abhishek  Kapoor.

It remains  to be seen  if Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui  will do  to Vani’s career what   Kedarnath did to Sushant  Singh Rajput. Will it take her  career to the  next level?
