After a turbulent 2020, Ragini Dwivedi is set to return to her comfort zone: cinema. The Thuppada Hudugi of Kannada cinema has signed her first project of the year. She will join the cast of Karva 3, directed by Vishal Shekar, that also features Tilak Shekar and Meghana Gaonkar. The film is bankrolled by Krishna Chaitanya under the Swarnalatha Productions banner. Krishna met the actor along producer K Manju and finalised her as the film's lead.

“This is my first film of 2021. This year I want to work and live one day at a time,” says Ragini, who is happy that the year has started on a “fantastic” note. Last year was a testing time for Ragini, both personally and professionally, so this movie comes as a relief. She adds, “I had promised that I will be part of some really exciting projects and Karva 3 is first on the list.”

Speaking about her association with the project, Ragini says that the content is the hero of the film and she is glad that the team chose her to be part of the project. “This is an out-and-out different genre, exploring different making techniques. The character I am playing has dual shades,” she says.

In addition, Ragini has been busy listening to around 8-9 scripts and is waiting to choose the best. “I want to focus on different kinds of movies, and I intend to be part of social-centric films. I want to give an important message through my films. This is my focus,” she says.
