Mumbai, March 13 Bollywood actress Sharvari has expressed her gratitude to filmmaker Imtiaz Ali. The actress is set to star in the upcoming film ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga,’ directed by Imtiaz.
On Friday, the actress shared a series of pictures on her Instagram. The first picture is a behind-the-scenes shot from the film's set, featuring Imtiaz and her. The second picture is the note she wrote for the director. The third picture is a masterclass session between Imtiaz Ali and Mani Ratnam.
She wrote, "To say that I am a huge fan of your cinema would be an understatement. Today, as our teaser is released, I can't help but remember the day when I attended a masterclass 3 years ago that you were conducting for Mani sir. I was in the audience, listening to you talk about your craft, your vision, your characters, and how you see this beautiful world you create on the big screen."
She further added, "I remember posting a story on Instagram that day, expressing my desire to be a part of your films someday. I didn't realize that I would see a teaser that ends with 'A FILM BY IMTIAZ ALI,' starring me. My journey as a young actor who is eager to be molded into different roles on screen has been so fulfilling, and that is only because of your encouragement and belief. From the recce to finishing the shoot and all the conversations over multiple lunches and dinners, those are my most cherished memories. Thank you, sir! You are not just a unique filmmaker, but also a wonderful person."
Earlier on Friday, the makers of Imtiaz Ali's next film, ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga,’ have unveiled the first look poster of the drama.
The posters, which were shared on social media, give a glimpse of a classic romance, with one picture showing Sharvari riding a bicycle in a field, with Vedang Raina running after her, dressed as a sardar. On the other hand, we see Diljit Dosanjh standing in the field with a calm expression on his face.
In another photo, Diljit is seen holding a travel cup for a beverage, suggesting that his character might belong to a big city, or even abroad. While it is difficult to glean more details about the storyline from the first look posters, it seems that ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’ is set in two different timelines.
The makers will also be releasing the teaser for the drama on Friday. Featuring Diljit, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang, and Sharvari as the main cast, the film promises a beautiful story of love and longing. ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’ is set to debut in cinemas on June 12, 2026.
