Vaani`s work front

Earlier this year, Vaani made her debut in OTT with Mandala Murders, based on the novel The Butcher of Benares. Set in the fictional town of Charandaspur, Uttar Pradesh, it combines mystery, supernatural horror, and psychological thriller elements. The series follows detectives Rea Thomas and Vikram Singh as they investigate ritualistic murders linked to a secret cult, the Aayastis, and a mythical entity called Yast. It explores themes of faith versus science and love versus sacrifice, mixing modern police procedures with occult practices. The series also stars Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, Raghubir Yadav, and Shriya Pilgaonkar in key roles.

She will next appear in Badtameez Gill, directed by Navjot Gulati. The film also features Aparshakti Khurana, Paresh Rawal, Sheeba Chaddha, Richard Bhakti Klein, and Monica Chaudhary.

The 37-year-old actress made her Bollywood debut with the 2013 film Shuddh Desi Romance, alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra. She later starred in the Tamil remake Aaha Kalyanam opposite Nani, for which she learned Tamil, but it was a box-office failure. In 2016, Vaani appeared in Befikre opposite Ranveer Singh, set in Paris, but despite its vibrant setting, the film flopped. After a brief break, she returned with War in 2019, co-starring Hrithik Roshan.  She was also seen in films like Shershaah, Khel Khel Mein and Raid 2.
