It has been over a decade since Ankita Lokhande won our hearts as Archana in Pavitra Rishta. And it is time to bring some trademark Ankita charm to the silver screen! The actress has bagged a deal with none other than Randeep Hooda for his directorial debut, Swatantra Veer Savarkar.
Ankita took to ‘Gram to share a gorgeous monochrome snap and the update with her 4 million followers. She captioned the post: “My first film as a lead #Swatantryaveersavarkar & I cannot wait to start this beautiful journey! This wouldn’t have been possible without you @officialssandipsingh. You have been my biggest support and the best friend one could ever ask for. Your journey has been commendable Producer Saab. Thank you so much @anandpanditmotionpictures sir for this opportunity And last but not the least @randeephooda, you’re the most talented actor and now our director Saab (sic)”
Looking Back At Ankita’s Bollywood Journey
While this isn’t the first Bollywood film that Ankita will be a part of, this will be her first project as the lead actress. In 2018, she made her silver screen debut with Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and caught everyone’s attention.
In a previous interview, Ankita opened up on why she made her way to Bollywood. She shared, “Films are a larger medium and that is one of the reasons to switch. If we talk about content, then I think not only TV, but the web is also coming up with great content. So, for actors, I believe there should not be any boundaries.”
TBH, we are sure Ankita is going to kill it with her big Bollywood break. Here’s wishing her luck on her new journey!
