Parul Gulati is all set to surprise audiences with her role in Anand L Rai’s upcoming theatrical thriller, where she steps into the shoes of Laira, Shanaya’s close friend and manager. The character, who is already gaining attention for being part of the now-buzzing dialogue “Laira, tu yedi ho gayi hai kya re bacchi…”, holds a significant place in the narrative and adds depth, warmth, and relatability to the story. Speaking about her role and her excitement to be part of Anand L Rai’s distinctive creature world, Parul shared an emotional and heartfelt note. She said, “I’m genuinely so happy and honestly still trying to soak it all in. Laira is Shanaya’s friend and manager, someone who stands by her fiercely, questions her, supports her, and is very real. What excites me the most is that she’s not just a side character — she’s an important emotional anchor in the story, and being part of such an iconic dialogue already feels surreal.”
Opening up further about the collaboration, Parul added, “As an actor and as a creator, this is truly the best collaboration I could have ever gotten. Anand L Rai’s world is so theatrical, layered, and emotionally rich — it’s the kind of cinema I’ve always admired and wanted to be part of. I keep pinching myself because this feels like one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to be part of a big-screen, larger-than-life film that also has so much heart.” Expressing her gratitude to the makers, she concluded, “I feel extremely grateful and thankful to the entire team for considering me for this role and trusting me with Laira. Being part of such a unique thriller and creature universe is incredibly special for me. I’m very happy, very grateful, and truly excited for audiences to experience this film on the big screen.”
