Ananya Panday Shines as Bold Lawyer in Kesari Chapter 2, Marks New Career Turning Point

Ananya Panday as Lawyer in Kesari 2: At the young age of 26, the actress has captured everyone's attention with her bold representation of an aggressive lawyer Dilreet Gill in the period court drama 'Kesari 2'. Not that there was more of it, but a small mark by Ananya makes almost all the critics shut up. They even questioned her ability to do this kind of role for the first time: how can such a girl do a very serious role? An experienced heroine should have been taken like Madhuri Dixit.

As soon as the film released, ground was swept off feet in the social media with compliments about her brilliant act. Netizens wrote, "Ananya has done a great job" while someone else said, "Her performance was heartwarming and inspiring. Ananya has come a long way from her Student of the Year days."

Ananya Panday Shines in Kesari 2 With Akshay Kumar

"Ananya Panday has carved her own niche in the tough world of Bollywood. Her recent jump into serious cinema with Kesari Chapter 2 will be a turning point in her career. Sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar, her role has been critically acclaimed, particularly for its complexity, portraying a transformation of the actor. This role emphasizes her versatility and dedication to challenge herself through roles that push boundaries," adds film analyst Girish Wankhede. Starring Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan, 'Kesari 2' marks Ananya's first theatrical release in two years. It opened to positive reviews and brought in close to Rs 20 crore at the box office. "She represents her generation. Be it through her work or balancing the professional and personal world, she is very relatable," says a publicist. "Sometimes the murmurs of trade gurus and numbers drown out our thoughts, but Ananya has always been connected to the inside," says Ananya's Gehraiyaan director Shakun Batra.

Ananya Panday Evolves With Call Me Bae Journey

From Gehraiyaan in 2022, Ananya created an indelible mark, which was certainly a turning point for her career, becoming very nuanced in her performance in such films as Kho Gaye Hum Kahan and CTL+R. This, of course, is continued by her latest offering, the dramedy 'Call Me Bae,' which took a shot at her viral comments on nepotism and privilege. Vikramaditya Motwane expresses that Ananya wants to prove herself which is a great ." The same actor who was once considered another clone of nepotism and Bollywood privilege has, now, turned the situation in her favour.

Ananya Panday: Rising Star with Intuitive Choices

Girish Wankhede, Senior Film Writer, calls her one of the brightest actors of her generation. "Her willingness to take risks with diverse roles has set her apart from her contemporaries, drawing comparisons with established stars like Alia Bhatt, who has successfully balanced art-house films with mainstream blockbusters. What makes Ananya different is her intuitive approach to choosing roles that suit her artistic sensibilities. She is not following a formula; she is building a career that reflects her personality and aspirations as an actress."

In this jiggle of work-life, including a marathon of shooting for the second season of Call Me Bae, Ananya philosophically explains, "I think everything is happening at the right time, and I am glad I went through that journey. It has made me stronger."

Currently, it is a rather cool and special time for Ananya Panday during this blazing hot April month.
