Her second year at the movies may have been unexpectedly sluggish due to the pandemic, but Ananya Panday is determined to make up for the lost time. Nestled in Goa, the actor is juggling two distinct worlds as she shoots Shakun Batra’s yet-untitled domestic noir and promotes her upcoming actioner, Khaali Peeli
Excited as she was to return to the familiar surroundings of a set, Panday admits shooting in the current scenario can be daunting. “Initially, I was scared to shoot in the midst of a pandemic. I am paranoid and make sure I take all the necessary precautions. But it was reassuring once I came on the sets and saw the way the crew was ensuring everyone’s safety,” says the actor, who is currently filming her portions with Siddhant Chaturvedi. After playing characters closer to herself in the past two outings, Panday believes Khaali Peeli helped her discover a world far removed from her own. “Pooja [her character] is a badass and a trouble-maker. It’s liberating to play a fearless character. It’s the first time that I have attempted action on screen. I felt charged up after performing the stunts and kicks; it gave me the confidence that I can pull off an action film in the future.”
