Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez finished shooting for a special appearance in Vikrant Rona, a multilingual film starring Kichcha Sudeep, recently. This included a special song that they shot in Bengaluru, this week.

Talking about the film that also marks her debut in Kannada films, Jacqueline says, “At this stage, all I can say is that it’s a well-etched out role and my character gives a new dimension to the way the story progresses. Sudeep sir is a fantastic actor and to share the screen space with him is an opportunity that doesn’t come by everyday.”

The actress was excited about being in front of the camera again after a forced break owing to the Coronavirus pandemic. She shares, “It feels great to do what I love the most. The pandemic came and brought everything to a standstill. Now that we’re all slowly making our way back to the sets and I am glad to start with this film.”

So, how did the makers think of roping in the Bollywood diva in the action-thriller? Apparently, they wanted somebody who had that hint of naughtiness and sass. Director Anup Bhandari says, “The producer suggested her name and we approached her. She heard the graph of the character and was happy to be a part of the project. Her character enters the film at a very crucial juncture.”
