She shared her approach to the character, emphasizing her commitment to making the portrayal as realistic and authentic as possible. Adah shared, “I am very fortunate to be getting the opportunity to play such amazing roles and work with such talented filmmakers. Stories like ‘The Kerala Story’ or fictional ones like Reeta Sanyal, I will do my best to make it as realistic as possible. I’m very lucky that creative filmmakers are offering me such varied roles.”
For the first time, Sharma will be seen portraying Devi, a goddess, on the silver screen. The forthcoming, yet-to-be-titled film will be trilingual in Hindi, Kannada, and Tamil.
Additionally, Adah expressed her passion for the horror genre. The actress revealed, “I am doing something in the horror space also soon. I love the horror genre as much as I love comedy.”

Additionally, she is set to star in a biopic and an international action film. Adah was last seen in Tumko Meri Kasam, which also stars veteran actor Anupam Kher, Ishwak Singh, Esha Deol. Directed by Vikram Bhatt, the thriller was released on March 21, 2025.
Reflecting on the overwhelming response to her recent project, Adah had earlier expressed, “It means the world to me that people were so touched they were crying. And if they think my performance was even more emotional than ‘The Kerala Story’ that makes me even more happy. I give each performance my all and I’m very fortunate from horror (1920) to comedy (sunflower season 2) to action (commando) to drama and emotion, the audience accepts me in all kinds of roles.”
