The rest 50 per cent is how they are going to perform and Kiara is one of the smartest and smartest artists, I have ever met who is really good,” said the director. He also compared Kiara to South actress Nayanthara, with whom he has worked in the Tamil films Badla and Arrabam.
“It was the last time I met someone like Nayantara and today it was great seeing Kiara, working with her. When I worked with Nayan, she used to be so sharp and so intelligent and I felt the same way while working with Kiara. He is very smart and fast. All you have to do is give them a sign and tell them what it is and they catch it so fast,” Vishnuvardhan said. Shershaahexplores the untold stories of unsung heroes of the war.

Talking about the right casting of the film, Vishnuvardhan said, “Once you see the film, you will understand why the casting has been done because we had some images of real and reel people and we are as much as the story and characters. It could be as close as it could be.
Kiara’s upcoming projects are Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Jug Jug Jio, Shashank Khaitan’s untitled film, and Shankar’s next with actor Ram Charan.
