Internet Calls Out Shamshera For Unnecessarily Sexualising Vaani Kapoor & Casting Her As 'Prop'
Shamshera is getting slammed online for using Vaani Kapoor as a prop in the movie. People think the makers sexualised her unnecessarily.
After four long years, Ranbir Kapoor made a comeback with a movie that also stars Sanjay Dutt (whose biopic he had done and won applause). Who would have expected that Shamshera won't be able to weave the magic at the box office as expected.

The film has already been labelled a flop. Those who have watched have either called it a bad film or said it was incredible. Some even argued that had it been a regional movie, it would have amassed a greater footfall to theatres.
if #Shamshera was a South Indian Film, adhi janta pagal hojati iski tareef karne mein! Its a great movie ???? A full pack

In the midst of this all, the movie is getting slammed online for using Vaani Kapoor as a prop in the movie.

Before the release of the movie, Vaani Kapoor had however assured her fans and movie buffs that her role is not just a prop in the film. "I have tremendous respect for Karan. I loved his movie Agneepath. I understand his sensibilities and aesthetics and I admire those. When he offered me the film, I saw the kind of arc he had for my character. She is not just there to be used as a prop in the film. It¡¯s very little disclosed in the trailer but once the film comes out, the audience will see a very different look and dimension to this character," she told CNN News 18.

But Twitter thinks Shamshera has objectified an actress (Vaani Kapoor) yet again. Some even said that she has been unnecessarily sexualised in the movie.
A fan wrote, "Sanju baba has done a lot of overacting , Vaani Kapoor is used as a prop in the film only comes in song pathetic . Only silver lining is Ranbir that too has not gone up to his potential in this film."
"Can anybody please explain why was there a need to unnecessarily sexualise Vaani Kapoor¡¯s role in Shamshera?", asked another user.

Why would the failure of Shamshera (which I still believe is a good film, despite the box office col)... why would this fall on Vaani Kapoor? She is nonexistent in the film, which was the number one reason I was pissed about! Bollywood keeps sidelining all the main actresses!! ?

I'm so happy RK is back after 4 years ??
About movie. It's Okayish. I love RK as Bali than Shamshera in acting wise.
Cinematography should have been better.
Vaani Looked gorgeous. Nothing more than that. Sanjay Dutt was over in some scenes. #RanbirKapoor
will never forgive yrf for what they've done to vaani kapoor's career like my girl is number one heroine material and they keep setting her back

no but vaani kapoor didn't do anything in shamshera but dance and scream ?
¡ª Disha Dinesh (@dishadineshh) July 22, 2022
By trailer and songs, I felt #shamshera looked like thugs of Hindustan because of Vaani kapoor acting like katrina kaif. Why does YRF potray women of that era as zero size figures exposing their bodies ???¡â?story acchi ho ya buri atleast do research on lifestyle of that era.

Also role of crows is more than vaani kapoor literally?

There is everything in movie except story and side characters and depth in them
Along with an item girl portrayal of Vaani Kapoor#ShamsheraReview
i saw all the shamshera itw's and during the promo, vaani insisted about the fact that her character was important and impactful, but she's not, she's just dancing, and screaming weirdly, their chemistry is great but the love story with bali is not well written. (part.4)
¡ª Ashh-Loove ??? (@AishRanliaLoove) July 23, 2022
'Shamshera' features credible actors like Saurabh Shukla, Ronit Bose Roy, Iravati Harshe and Vaani Kapoor who never get enough scope to perform. #ShamsheraIsHere

Furthermore, Vaani Kapoor said that she wanted to work with Sanjay Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor, and hence, she picked up this role. She told the publication, "It¡¯s a dream cast and a great opportunity".
