Sharvari Wagh’s Journey and On Going Training

Sharvari Wagh, whose recent films ‘Maharaj’ and ‘Munjya’ garnered critical acclaim, expresses excitement about her upcoming role in ‘Alpha’ alongside Alia Bhatt. Under the direction of Shiv Rawail, known for his work in ‘The Railway Men,’ Sharvari anticipates a transformative experience, both in terms of acting challenges and collaborative learning with Alia Bhatt.

“It’s an overwhelming feeling,” confesses Sharvari, reflecting on her recent successes. “It is very rare that you can achieve this across platforms. I had a film running in the theatres and a film on Netflix so I reached a lot of people, I could showcase my talent to a lot of people. It is a blessing and I am yet to sink in this feeling.”

Sharvari also shares her enthusiasm about collaborating with Shiv Rawail, stating, “The Railway Men has been an outstanding show. He comes in with new and fresh ideas and I am so excited to collaborate with someone like him because he is hearing you out. I am honestly having the best time of my life prepping for the film.”

“So I am into action training every single day. I have been training for a very long time and now closer to shoot, the training is even more hardcore and extreme. It’s a challenge and I love a good challenge, it’s exciting. I think my prep, of course apart from action, goes into a lot of sitting with the script and being able to constantly think about my character, constant thinking about the film.”

Sharvari further elaborates on her preparation for the role, emphasizing her dedication to rigorous action training and character development. She adds, “I haven’t started my shoot as yet but the prep has been incredible. To be able to collaborate with Alia Bhatt who is the country’s favourite star and my personal favourite (is a big opportunity). I think you get to learn so much from the person that she is and the artist that she is. I truly feel I am so blessed to be in the same room as Alia Bhatt because I can be a student and it’s going to be a masterclass on acting. It’s going to be incredible.”
