Bollywood actress Kiara Advani said that she wants to do romantic films.

Kiara made her debut in Bollywood with the 2014 film Fugly, which was directed by Kabir Sadanand. She shared screen space with Jimmy Shergill and newcomers Mohit Marwah, Vijender Singh and Arfi Lamba.

"I am grateful that Fugly came my way. I did benefit from the film. There is something coming up (a film) but I can't talk about it. I would like to do romantic and romantic-comedy films," Kiara told PTI.

The actress walked the ramp for designer Shaina NC's inaugural show Beti on the first day of the India International Jewellery Week on August 3. She wore an Indian outfit.

The Fugly actress was also the celebrity showstopper for a jewellery brand at the Jewellery Week.
For the bulk of Brothers' audience, it doesn't matter that the film is a remake. Just as there's usually no comparison between Hindi remakes of South Indian films, few will watch Brothers with O' Connor's film in mind. However, for those who enjoy both Hollywood and Bollywood, these remakes can be revealing and one of the obvious contrasts is in the acting department.
Watching a Hollywood film and then seeing its Bollywood remake is the simplest way to be confronted with how much more melodramatic performances are in Hindi cinema. For instance, can Malhotra bring something other than glycerine-induced tears to his portrayal of the troubled younger brother who fights like a mad dog? As an actor, how will he compare to Hardy?
To begin with, Malhotra doesn't have Hardy's swoon-worthy pout. Neither does Malhotra look quite as mean and dangerous as Hardy did in the film, judging from the trailers and movie stills. Most importantly, if the Brothers trailer shows Malhotra's best and most dramatic moments, that doesn't bode well. In each of them, Malhotra seems to be trying very hard to play a part and he's the one who seems most artificial in comparison to Jackie Shroff, who plays his coach, and Akshay Kumar, who is the older brother. Just watch the trailer of Warrior and see how much more convincing Hardy is as Tommy.
Interestingly, the role of Monty in Brothers could do for Malhotra what Warrior did for Hardy. So far, Malhotra has established he's reliable as the clean-cut, smooth-faced romantic hero with Student of the Year and Hasee Toh Phasee. In Ek Villain, he played a gore-loving hitman who discovers a softer side when he falls in love. For the first time in his short career, Malhotra will be love-less in a film. There will be no gaana-wala song for him to melt hearts with in Brothers (those are in Kumar's chunk of the plot). All Malhotra gets are scenes of anger and fighting.
Brothers is the story of two brothers who have a love-hate relationship. David (Kumar) is the elder brother who was once a fighter and now is a school teacher. Monty is the younger, angrier one. Circumstances lead the two of them to enter a championship and unsurprisingly, the climax sees David and Monty fighting each other.
All this is quite faithful to the plot of Warrior, which was unabashedly formulaic. Added to the mix are some of Bollywood's favourite sentimental tropes, like a jailbird father and a sick child who needs an expensive operation. However, what made Warrior a joy to watch was the way it established its characters. Every encounter between the brothers and their father in particular — whether verbal or physical — was enacted with nuance and tenderness. You followed what these men were feeling and worried for them, rather than noticing just how hackneyed the plot was.
