Adah Sharma, renowned for her roles in movies such as 1920 (2008), Haseen Toh Phasee (2014), and the Commando (2017-2019) film series, experienced a resurgence in popularity with her latest venture, The Kerala Story (2023). Notably, this time, the actress captivated audiences solely through her exceptional performance in the crime drama, without relying on a male lead character. Even after a year, discussions about the film continue to surface, attesting to its enduring impact on viewers.
Adah seems profoundly affected by real-life events like The Kerala Story. As a result, she is returning with a new gripping film titled Bastar: The Naxal Story. The trailer was unveiled two days ago, and the atrocious crime in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, struck a chord with the audience. Many viewers commended the filmmakers for shedding light on the Naxalite narrative, while others were left with a chilling sensation after watching it.
However, Adah Sharma was deeply impacted by the story. We recently discovered this from the actress herself during an interview. Sharma, portraying the role of IPS officer Neerja Madhavan, expressed that if actors cannot genuinely connect with their characters on a profound level and proceed with the portrayal, it becomes artificial and lacks authenticity. This is the sentiment that the 31-year-old actress has been experiencing lately, especially after working on projects such as The Kerala Story and now Bastar. Adah emphasized that regardless of whether she is working on a realistic or fictional film, every script holds significance for her. Before committing to a project, she thoroughly examines the scripts and comprehends their importance, requirements, characters, and the depth they entail. Additionally, she delves into the kind of performance the filmmakers seek and avidly reads stories and articles about them online or elsewhere. This insatiable curiosity about the incidents drives her to engage in such research.
