So far, audiences have watched actress Naina Ganguly in glamorous roles, but she’s set to take on a completely different role in her upcoming film, Johar, which is directed by Teja Marini.

The Beautiful actress will be seen in the role of a sprinter in Johar, a social drama prominently revolving around the subject of how constructing a statue affects the lives of the people.

“I play a circus girl from a town, but how my character graph changes while pursuing my ambitions of becoming a runner makes for an interesting watch in the film,” she explains. Naina then tells us about how the role was a makeover for her. “It’s a completely performance-based character for which I have to do a lot of workouts to stay fit. In fact, I had to shoot with real sprinters, and matching their pace was very challenging,” she elaborates. But Naina tells us that she embraces versatile roles. “And that’s the best thing about being an actress — to be able to play as many roles as you can so that you can showcase your acting chops,” she says, signing off.
