After gaining acclaim from her previous film, Kalyani is set to take on another interesting role. The song “Abdi Abdi” has been released, and fans are buzzing with excitement over her impressive performance. Let’s dive into the reactions from the audience.

Kalyani’s journey with Abdi Abdi

Kalyani has chosen unique projects throughout her career. She recently spoke about the challenges of performing in Genie, stating, “As an actor, I always strive to push myself. This song was a significant challenge.”

Notably, despite its commercial flair, the song integrates seamlessly into Genie’s storyline. “When our director shared his vision, I was impressed by how he blended the commercial aspect with an essential narrative in Genie,” she added.
