Mumbai (Anil Bedag): After portraying a character steeped in intense emotions, actress Naqiyah Haji is all set to bring a refreshing mix of fun, carefree energy and madness to the screen. Having garnered attention for her role as Dr. Nats in Heartbeats Season 2, Nakiyah will now be seen in a completely different avatar alongside Viraj Ghelani in her upcoming film Party Animals.
Naqiyah’s excitement about the film is evident in the way she describes it as “a desi version of The Hangover and 21 Jump Street.” In the film, she plays Sakshi, a carefree party girl who believes in living life on her own terms.
As Dr. Nats, Naqiyah portrayed a woman grappling with sensitive issues such as childhood abuse, mental health challenges and alcohol addiction. In contrast, her role as Sakshi will showcase the fun-loving, bubbly and uninhibited side of her acting abilities.
Nakiyah says the transition has been both challenging and immensely enjoyable. She hopes that Gen Z audiences will connect with the characters and thoroughly enjoy the film’s madness. Packed with humour, unexpected twists and youthful energy, Party Animals offers Nakiyah an exciting opportunity to explore a completely new dimension of her acting talent.
