Imtiaz Ali says exuberance is a generous part of Sharvari's personality
Mumbai, May 24
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Main Vapas Aaunga', has spoken up on the film's casting process, and said that the film's lead actress Sharvari comes with a lot of exuberance.
The filmmaker spoke with IANS during the promotions of the film along with Vedang Raina and Sharvari.
Talking about the film's casting, Imtiaz said, "The most important decision for a director as far as acting is concerned is the casting. I felt when I met each one of them individually, I felt that casting them would be a big favour to the film, because they will bring in a natural exuberance and an interest to the characters. Sharvari has that exuberance, and it is a very important part of the character that she plays, which is Jiya".
He further mentioned, "And that exuberance is something natural to her, and therefore it becomes natural for her to portray the character of Jiya. So that's something that Jiya borrows from her. As far as Vedang is concerned, there is a certain earnestness that I felt would be very good for Kino. These are words of course, but behind this, there is a whole lot of, a series of, and the whole emotional process that he has would be very suited to the way Kino is. And I feel that when you watch the film, you'll understand what I mean".
The film also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Naseeruddin Shah. It explores the depth of human connection, this film promises to be an exciting cinematic experience.
Produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment along with Mohit Choudhary, Shibasish Sarkar of Window Seat Films, this Birla Studios Worldwide release will showcase in cinemas on June 12, 2026.

Exuberance is the right word for Sharvari! She has that infectious energy. But honestly, I'm more excited about Diljit and Naseeruddin Shah—what a combo! Hope the story matches the hype. 🤞
Imtiaz Ali never disappoints with his casting choices. Rockstar, Tamasha—all had perfect fits. Sharvari and Vedang seem promising. Let's hope 'Main Vapas Aaunga' lives up to his legacy. Fingers crossed!
Finally, some exciting news in Bollywood! Sharvari is a breath of fresh air. But why does every Imtiaz film have to explore 'depth of human connection'? Hope it's not another slow-paced drama. Just saying.
I love how Imtiaz gives young actors a platform. Sharvari's exuberance is perfect for Jiya, and Vedang's earnestness for Kino—that's some solid character mapping. Diljit and Naseeruddin ji are the cherry on top! 🎬
The casting sounds spot on—Sharvari is definitely exuberant! But I wish they'd release more details about the story. Imtiaz's movies are usually deep, but sometimes too abstract. Let's see if this one clicks with the masses. 🤔
