Adah Sharma, who previously did films like 1920 (2008), Haseen Toh Phasee (2014), and Cammando (2017-2019) film series, rose to fame once again with The Kerala Story (2023), and this time, the actress did not have to depend on the male lead character. Rather her solo performance in the crime drama took the internet by storm. It's been a year, and still, you can see people talking about the film every now and then.

Seems like such true events like The Kerala Story, have deeply impacted Adah. Hence, she is coming back with another thrilling film - Bastar: The Naxal Story. The trailer was released just two days ago, and the heinous crime, that happened in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, deeply resonated with the viewers. Several viewers were proud of the makers for bringing the story of Naxals to the limelight, while some felt goosebumps after watching it.

How did Adah Sharma urge fans to stay strong?

But the story affected Adah Sharma in a bigger way. Recently we learnt that from the actress herself, when she spoke about the film exclusively with Pinkvilla. Sharma, who plays an IPS officer Neerja Madhavan, shared that if actors cannot feel their characters to the core of their hearts and still did it anyway, that's pure plastic, and not genuine performance. This is what the 31-year-old actress has been feeling lately after doing films like The Kerala Story and now Bastar.

Adah stated that whether she's doing a realistic film or a fictional one, every script is important to her. Before signing it, she reads the scripts, understands the importance, the needs, her characters, the depth, what kind of performance the makers are demanding, and also reads stories and articles about them on the internet, or somewhere else anyhow, because her uncontrollable curiosity about the incidents make her do it.

While speaking about Bastar, the Selfiee-star recalled The Kerala Story, and shared that director Sudipto Sen used to send her disturbing, heinous videos, and she used to obsessively watch them, staying awake all night. Such determination is truly amazing and very rare to find these days among youngsters, isn't it?

Adah Sharma says Bastar should scar the audience

Lastly, Adah has one advice for the audience. She urges fans to make up their mind and stay strong before watching the film because the film shouldn't just touch their hearts and minds, it should scar them. She feels the visualisations, dialogues, each and everything about the film should shake up the audience, who loves their nation and are true patriots. “If you say 76 of our jawans were brutally killed by people who lived in our country, then it should shake you up a lot. It should really affect you and disturb you, and I would let it affect and disturb me because then I think it will just be in my performance, and I will be able to get some realist,” Adah Sharma stated.
