Adah Sharma steps into the shoes of a goddess in an upcoming trilingual film

A Powerful Comeback to South Cinema
After the massive success of 'The Kerala Story' in 2023, Adah Sharma is once again in the spotlight, this time with a divine twist. The actress is making her return to South Indian cinema through an ambitious trilingual project being simultaneously made in Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi. What sets this film apart is Adah's powerful new role, that of a goddess, marking a significant departure from her previous characters. This divine avatar promises to showcase a blend of spirituality, strength, and grace, further broadening her acting range.
“Devi is Shakti”: Adah on Embracing Divinity
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Adah opened up about the emotional depth and empowerment she feels in portraying a goddess. “It is empowering because Devi is Shakti. I believe that there is Devi in every single woman,” she said. The role, she explained, connects with her personal beliefs and allows her to channel inner strength. She also expressed her excitement about collaborating with acclaimed director BM Giriraj, a national award winner, calling it a privilege to be part of a project led by such accomplished filmmakers.
Balancing Faith and Performance with Responsibility
Portraying a deity in a country where religion holds profound emotional and cultural significance isn’t without its challenges. When asked whether the role comes with pressure, Adah acknowledged the weight of the responsibility but embraced it with confidence. “Yes, it is a responsibility, but that is a good thing. It doesn’t give me anxiety. I like responsibility,” she said. She emphasized the importance of approaching the character with sincerity and respect, adding that playing Devi is not something that should be taken lightly. “I respect that responsibility,” she affirmed.
