'Kesari Veer' actress Akanksha Sharma reveals how Ramleela impacted her acting Journey

From Ramleela's impact to Kesari Veer, Akanksha Sharma's journey reveals a passionate transformation from student to rising Bollywood actress

"I didn't grow up with this dream, but watching the film lit something in me - Akanksha Sharma"

Mumbai, April 30

Akanksha Sharma, who will be stepping into acting with the much-awaited period action drama, "Kesari Veer" revealed how Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Ramleela", starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone impacted her journey as an actor.

Akanksha shared, "I come from a very simple background, with no filmy connections whatsoever. I was in 12th grade, preparing for my board examinations, when I happened to watch Ramleela -- and that changed everything. That's when I realized I wanted to become an actress. I didn't grow up with this dream, but watching the film lit something in me. And now, here I am, with my debut film. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful that I got to play Rajal -- a character whose battles weren't just on the battleground, but also within."

"Kesari Veer" talks about the epic battle to protect the sacred Somnath Temple from invading forces. The seasoned warrior Vegda Ji (Suniel Shetty) stood as the unwavering guardian of his homeland, standing shoulder to shoulder with the valiant young Rajput prince, Hamirji Gohil (Sooraj Pancholi), taking on the formidable Zafar Khan (Vivek Oberoi).

In the middle of the war, Hamirji finds solace in his budding romance with the graceful Raajal (Akansha Sharma).

Produced by Kanu Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner, "Kesari Veer" is set to captivate audiences across the globe on May 16, 2025.

Up next, Akanksha will be seen in "Tera Yaar Hoon Main", co-starring Aman Indra Kumar. Made under the direction of Milap Zaveri, the movie revolves around themes of friendship and relationships.

Her lineup further includes an untitled action-comedy which will also be helmed by Zaveri. Thrilled about her next, Akanksha said that she is incredibly grateful to be living her dream and working on such exciting projects with amazing teams.

Wow, what an inspiring journey! It's amazing how a single film can change someone's life path. Ramleela was indeed a visual masterpiece, and I'm excited to see Akanksha's performance in Kesari Veer. The historical angle makes it even more interesting! Jai Hind 🇮🇳

As someone who also comes from a non-filmy background, this gives me hope! More power to Akanksha for chasing her dreams. Though I hope Kesari Veer doesn't just focus on the romance angle - our historical epics deserve authentic representation of the warrior spirit.

Interesting choice for debut - period dramas are tough! Hope they've done proper research on Rajput history. We've seen too many films take creative liberties with our heritage. Fingers crossed this does justice to the Somnath Temple story 🤞

Ramleela's impact continues! Deepika and Ranveer set such high standards though - new actors have big shoes to fill. But Akanksha seems genuine in her passion. Wishing her all the best for her debut and upcoming projects. Bollywood needs fresh faces!

Another historical drama? Hope it's not just style over substance. Our film industry should focus more on original stories rather than rehashing history with added masala. That said, wishing the team success - will watch if reviews are good.

So refreshing to hear about newcomers without industry connections making it big! Akanksha's excitement is contagious 😊 Also curious about the Aman Indra Kumar project - we need more good friendship stories in Bollywood. Best of luck to her!
