Punjab-based model Heera Sohal is all set to make her debut in Telugu. The former pageant show runner-up, who will be playing one of the leading ladies in Sreedhar Seepana’s untitled film, has already started shooting for her part.
Talking about the project, Heera says, “After seeing my modelling assignment, the director called me for an audition. Since I am Punjabi and don’t know the local language (Telugu), I gave my audition in Hindi. The director liked my acting style and body language, and after a look test, I was on board.”
Elaborating on her role, Heera says, “It’s a modern character and I play my age; it’s an urban role with shades of glamour and performance. I have been to Hyderabad earlier too, but I am shooting here for the first time.”
Heera opines that there’s a world of difference between modelling and acting. “In modelling, you only need to pose, but in acting, you need to make sure that the emotion is expressed. The expressions and body language should complement the dialogues, so there’s a lot to work on,” she says.
