According to the trailer and songs from Shamshera Vaani Kapoor plays a dancer and the romantic interest of Ranbir Kapoor's character, Balli.

While talking to the media during a group interaction, Vaani clarified that there's nothing to compare with Katrina and her characters.

The Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui actor stated, "No ya, because there's only so much that you've seen in a trailer. One must perceive way more than one can understand from the trailer or the song that has come out. But there's an entirely different arc for my character. I can say with conviction that it's a very different film. I've seen Thugs of Hindostan and I've worked on my film, and there's no comparison."

While praising Katrina, Vaani said, "She's a wonderful dancer, actor, everything, and I'm glad. If you're comparing me, please compare me to her beauty. I'd be very happy. But I know that my part is written in a different way and the subject in the film is very different from that one. "

Talking about Vaani, Shamshera's upcoming post-critically acclaimed film, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. The Abhishek Kapoor directorial featured the actor playing the role of a trans woman, and she was appreciated for taking this bold step in her career.

Calling it a game-changer, Vaani hopes that she gets more such opportunities where she pushes the boundaries and breaks barriers in her career.

Meanwhile, Shamshera directed by Karan Malhotra, is produced by Aditya Chopra under his home banner, Yash Raj Films. The film is slated for release on July 22, 2022.
