Actress Kajal Aggarwal is all set to portray the divine Goddess Parvathi in her upcoming Telugu film, Kannappa. Known for her glamorous roles in commercial cinema, Kajal has undergone a remarkable transformation for this role. According to a source close to the actress, it was initially a challenging shift for Kajal, but the captivating script drew her to the role. With a strong support team behind her, she adapted seamlessly to this sacred character.

This role marks Kajal’s first time portraying a deity, following her memorable performance as a princess in Magadheera. Under the direction of Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kajal brings to life the essence of Goddess Parvathi, who rules over the three worlds and is the protector of her devotees. A highlight of the film is the portrayal of Gnana Prasunambika in the sacred Sri Kalahasti Shrine, which has received immense praise for its exceptional execution.

Additionally, Kajal is excited to share the screen with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who plays Lord Shiva in the film. The duo shares great on-screen chemistry, and Kajal is particularly thrilled to reunite with Akshay after their earlier collaboration in Special 26 over a decade ago.

As Kajal expands her horizons, she is also making her mark in Bollywood, starring alongside Salman Khan in Sikander. Kajal is now choosing performance-driven roles in both Hindi and Telugu cinema, focusing on projects that highlight her versatility as an actress.
