Sharvari says Main Vaapas Aaunga is still drawing audiences in its fifth week, which she calls a long theatrical run in today’s market. Speaking to Hindustan Times, she attributed the film’s success to audience word of mouth rather than promotional hype. The actor said the first few days were tense, but she trusted the film would find its audience. Fans now call her Jia, the character she played. Sharvari is shooting Ali Abbas Zafar’s next film with Ahaan Panday. She said she wants challenging, varied roles and hopes viewers remember her characters more than her films’ earnings. The Times of India reports that the new film’s title and release date have not been announced.
