Raveena Tandon will be seen next in Karmma Calling.

Raveena Tandon is all set to play a grey character in Disney Plus Hotstar’s Karmma Calling. The show’s trailer dropped today, and the mystery thriller looks every bit gripping. At the press meet of Karmma Calling, the actor spoke about choosing to play a character with grey shades, and revealed that it was indeed challenging.

The actor shared, “Indira Kothari is very different from the real person that I am. So there was always a dilemma because I did not want my thoughts to reflect in this role. For years, I have tried to play different roles, whether Aranyak or KGF 2. People have seen me in different avatars. But this one (Karmma Calling) is the first, and it was challenging.”

Raveena Tandon believes that sincerity is the key to ace every role. “It is a plus to be a sincere actor. From the 90s till today, it has been 33 years, and I have realized that hard work, honesty, and sincerity are what makes an actor. If these reflect in every character, your role stands out,” she said.
