According to reports, Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) actress Kriti Sanon has been roped in to play the female lead in filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari’s next. The untitled film stars Sushant Singh Rajput as the male protagonist.
Earlier, the names of such actresses as Jacqueline Fernandez and Shraddha Kapoor were doing the rounds. However, a close source informs to an Indian daily that the makers are in final talks with Kriti Sanon. She is expected to sign the project on the dotted line soon.
