If you’ve been humming along to Ritviz’s super-catchy hit Liggi, chances are you remember the vibrant girl at the heart of its music video — the one whose effortless energy and infectious smile made her instantly unforgettable. That’s Vedika Pinto. And now, she’s swapping her contemporary cool for a retro charm as she steps into the role of Rangeeli Rinku in Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film Nishaanchi, releasing on 19th September.
A Role That’s All Heart, No Glam Filter
In Nishaanchi, Vedika is not your typical glossy Bollywood heroine. As Rangeeli Rinku, she embraces minimal makeup, unstyled hair, and an innocence that feels refreshingly real. The teaser reveals a character that’s warm, endearing, and deeply rooted in old-school Bollywood vibes — think of the charm of yesteryear’s leading ladies, but with a fresh, modern spirit.
It’s not just about looking different; it’s about feeling authentic. Vedika’s portrayal aims to connect with the audience on a personal level, stripping away the frills to reveal the heart of the character.
From Music Video Sensation to Silver Screen Storyteller
Vedika’s journey hasn’t been the typical “from acting school to film sets” path. She burst into the spotlight in Liggi, where her natural presence and relatable energy resonated with millions. No over-dramatics, no forced poses — just an infectious vibe that made you want to rewatch the video.
That instant connection set her apart, catching the attention of filmmakers who saw in her the potential to bring depth and sincerity to screen characters.
Anurag Kashyap’s Trust in New Talent
Working with Anurag Kashyap is no small feat. Known for his unconventional storytelling and knack for casting actors who feel ‘real’, Kashyap clearly saw something unique in Vedika. By trusting her with the role of Rangeeli Rinku, he’s giving her the space to explore a character that’s both playful and poignant.
In an industry where newcomers are often typecast, this is a rare opportunity to show range right from the start.
A Step That Could Redefine Her Career
With Nishaanchi, Vedika isn’t just playing a role; she’s making a statement — that she’s here for the long game. The film’s mix of nostalgia, emotional depth, and Kashyap’s storytelling could give her the breakthrough that many young actors dream of.
For fans, it’s a chance to see how the ‘Liggi’ girl transforms into a completely different persona, proving that she’s more than just a viral face.
As September 19th draws closer, all eyes will be on Vedika Pinto to see if Rangeeli Rinku becomes as unforgettable as her first claim to fame. Judging by the buzz, she’s ready to surprise us all — and maybe even steal the show.
