"When we worked together on good news I was a bit intimidated working with Sir, I wouldn't speak as much".## "I would silently listen and observe him on set, the way he would improvise and add so much life to a scene always inspired me. By the time we started working on Laxmi I had opened up, felt more confident and the journey has been amazing", she added. ## When asked about what made her say yes working on this film, Kiara said, "There are some films which are so entertaining that you just want to be a part of it. That's how I felt when I heard the narration of Laxmi. I liked the way my character ties the screenplay together. It's a commercial film which I haven't really done before it's a new space for me as well and I'm really happy to be a part of this film".## Laxmi (earlier titled Laxmmi Bomb) is a horror-comedy that is a remake of the Tamil blockbuster film, Muni 2: Kanchana. Raghava Lawrence, who had helmed the original, will be making his Hindi directorial debut with this one. The film also stars Sharad Kelkar, Ashwini Kalsekar, and many others.## Stay tuned...
