Vaani Kapoor said she is aware that she has a "small role" in "Bellbottom" but chose to be part of the film as she was hooked to the basic premise of the film

Kapoor, known for her work in Ranveer Singh-starrer "Befikre" and Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff's "War", said she aims to make her presence felt in every film irrespective of the length of the role. "I would want to leave a presence behind in that amount of time and scenes where you have (only) so much scope to perform. That's the greed every actor has. I want to do the most important and impactful roles and there is no end to that greed," she said. "However, I truly value what I have got. But there are a lot of films that I watch and I wish I can get that film or get to work with this director," she added. The Delhi-born actor further said she believes in the theory of "work brings work". Citing the example of her last theatrical release "War", Kapoor shared that both actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani and filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor offered her "Bellbottom" and "Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui", respectively after watching the 2019 blockbuster film. In "War", directed by Siddharth Anand, she played Naina, a single mother who helps Roshan's Kabir in his mission to spy on a terrorist. "When you are working in certain films you get more work because somebody is noticing you in that film. Sometimes a filmmaker connects when he watches your past work. This is how you bring in your visibility.
"I don't want to get papped everyday outside my house, that's not the visibility I want. I would rather be part of a good storyline where I have a decent part and make my presence felt," she said, adding, it is a challenge to be remembered in a big star film. Kapoor said she is yet to establish herself as a credible performer and when that happens she hopes to work with the directors on her wish list. "There a lot of films that I wish I could be part of but maybe the director doesn't have the faith in me, maybe I am not credible as an actor, I am not a star, people don't have that relatability or connection with me. "It is a business at the end they want the star to pull the crowd. I don't have that credibility as an actor yet. I am also picking and choosing from what I am getting. Nothing is coming to me on a platter," she said. Up next for her is Ranbir Kapoor-Sanjay Dutt's "Shamshera", a period-action drama film, and a romantic-drama "Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui" with Ayushmann Khurrana. "I am looking for these films to come out and hoping people will like me and that directors can view me in their films as a potential actor," she said. "Bellbottom" is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani. Also starring Lara Dutta, Huma Qureshi and Adil Hussain, the film will be released in theatres on Thursday.
