Kashika
Kapoor’s
rising
trajectory
is
being
quietly
but
consistently
backed
by
the
people
who
work
with
her
most
closely
directors.
AGMP’s
[Aayushmati
Geeta
Matric
Pass]
filmmaker
recently
acknowledged
her
discipline
and
emotional
sharpness,
calling
her
an
actor
who
brings
“clean,
honest
emotion”
to
every
performance.
His
praise
adds
to
a
growing
industry
belief
that
Kashika
is
steadily
becoming
a
true
director’s
actor
focused,
receptive
and
deeply
committed.
The
admiration
is
even
stronger
on
the
sets
of
Geeta
Arts’ Jampanna,
where
the
director
offered
one
of
the
most
detailed
and
heartfelt
compliments
she
has
received
so
far:
“Kashika
is
a
born
star.
What
an
actor.
Every
single
day
on
set,
she
surprises
us
with
a
new
shade,
a
new
level
of
refinement.
She’s
such
a
natural
performer
her
eyes
speak
before
her
dialogue
does,
and
that’s
a
gift
only
a
few
actors
possess.
The
entire
crew
applauds
her
she
elevates
every
frame
she
steps
into.
And
the
most
astonishing
part
is
how
she
remembers
her
lines
as
if
Tollywood
is
her
home
language.
I’ve
never
seen
someone
from
Bollywood
speak
such
refined
Telugu,
especially
when
it’s
entirely
new
to
them.
Directors
from
her
completed
projects
echo
the
same
admiration.Her
dedication
is
exceptional
she
doesn’t
sleep,
she’s
the
one
asking
us
to
shoot
more
even
when
it’s
hours
past
pack-up.
She
is
remarkably
cooperative,
free
of
any
airs
or
indulgences
truly
beauty
with
brains,
backed
by
passion
and
rare
professionalism.”
Meanwhile,
Pavan
Ketharaju
–
the
prominent
co-director
of
Pushpa:
The
Rise
(Part
1)
–
who
directed
her
in
Love
your
father
2025,
highlighted
her
adaptability
and
preparedness
with
a
story
that
left
the
entire
crew
impressed.
Speaking
about
a
demanding
last-minute
dance
sequence,
he
said,
“For
the
dance
sequence,
she
prepped
in
just
an
hour.
We
did
it
super
last
minute,
and
she
performed
like
she’d
been
practising
for
years.”
He
added,
“Kashika
handled
both
intense
drama
and
classical
dance
with
the
same
level
of
preparation.
Her
professionalism
is
far
beyond
her
years.”
In
response
to
this
wave
of
appreciation,
Kashika
remains
deeply
grounded.
“To
hear
such
words
from
directors
I
deeply
admire
is
overwhelming
in
the
most
humbling
way.
I’m
still
learning,
still
growing,
and
I
hope
I
always
remain
a
student
of
this
craft.
If
my
work
resonates,
it’s
because
of
the
incredible
teams
that
guide
me
and
trust
me.
All
I
can
promise
is
to
give
every
role
my
entire
heart.”
As
praise
continues
from
filmmakers
across
industries,
one
thing
is
becoming
clear:
Kashika
Kapoor
isn’t
chasing
stardom
she’s
earning
respect.
And
that
respect
is
turning
her
into
the
director’s
favourite,
frame
by
frame.
