Vaani Kapoor plays a travelling performer in Shamshera.

Vaani Kapoor is busy shooting for her upcoming film Shamshera in which she will be seen opposite Ranbir Kapoor. In the film, Vaani plays a travelling performer from heartland India and the actor is honing her dancing skills for the same.

A source shared, “Vaani needs to be extremely proficient in several classical dancing styles to be able to pull off the intricate choreography that is being set for her. She has been honing her dancing skills by learning Kathak for a few months now and she has been pulling in hours daily to perfect her dancing and body postures.”

“Since Shamshera is set in a particular time, the dance sequences require me to have a very Indian, very classical body language, which is why I started taking kathak classes to learn the nuances and the grace. Karan specifically wanted me to adapt to a more traditional Indian dance form and break from the western style to do justice to the choreography that is being set for me,” Vaani Kapoor said in a statement.
