After making heads turn with a streak of critically acclaimed performances in Munjya, Maharaj and Vedaa, Sharvari Wagh is now shooting for one of the most highly anticipated projects, Alpha. Co-starring Alia Bhatt, the big-budget action spectacle – which is a part of the YRF spy universe – will see the two of them playing super-agents. Interestingly, Sharvari is the youngest actor to be part of the universe, which has earlier featured the likes of superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone.
Elated to have bagged this feat, Sharvari, in an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, says, “It’s a big pinch-me moment. It’s such a big universe! It’s an IP that has been loved in India and across the world. So, to be part of something that’s already so huge feels incredible. I’m super excited and truly grateful to be a part of it, firstly because the film stands for what it does and secondly, the fact that I get to work with Alia. That’s a big dream come true."
But along with intense exhilaration comes a bit of nervousness, admits Sharvari. And she’s taking every bit of the experience to her stride. “To be the youngest actor to shoulder a project of a franchise that has earlier been shouldered by the biggest superstars like Shah Rukh sir, Salman sir and Hrithik sir and other so many big names is humbling, motivating and a little bit of nerve-wrecking too," states Sharvari.
This is also the first time that she’s sharing screen space with Alia. And during the pre-production of Alpha, they had a proper interaction for the first time. Looking back at her first chat with the Jigra and Gangubai Kathiawadi actor, Sharvari tells us, “I’ve been in the same room as Alia before Alpha happened and we did greet each other. I was introduced to her but I never had an at-length conversation with her before the film. My first proper meeting with her was during one of the prep days at the studio where she had just finished her prep and I was going in for mine."
Talking about how it’s an enriching experience watching Alia in action before the camera, Sharvari adds, “By now, she knows how much I’m in awe of her. I didn’t have to tell her (laughs). I’ve learnt so much from her. There’s not one or two things that I can pinpoint. For me, sitting on the sidelines and watching her work is like a masterclass in itself. I simply watch her on set and learn as much as I can."
Earlier, we reported that Sharvari auditioned for her part in Alpha even before she kick-started Munjya’s shoot. “Adi (Aditya Chopra; producer) sir wanted to audition me in the action space. So, I did an extensive action audition. I went to an action class and did two months of training. I didn’t know what the film was called," she had said.
