Kriti Sanon on her role in Bachchan Pandey: It is something very different

Kriti Sanon was last seen on the big screen in Housefull 4 opposite Akshay Kumar. The film was directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Now, Akshay, Kriti, Farhad, and Sajid have once again teamed up for a movie titled Bachchan Pandey.

During a media interaction, when Kriti was asked how excited she is to be a part of Bachchan Pandey, the actress said, “I am very excited about it. Also, I have heard the script, it’s very entertaining. The way Farhad (Samji) has written the script and also written my role, I am very thrilled to play that. It is something very different and it has got a lot to explore as an actor. Of course, the team is the same team I have worked in Housefull 4, so my comfort level is something else.”


Housefull 4 didn’t have as many scenes with Akshay sir to explore, but whatever we had we realised that the give and take was very good. It’s fun to do scenes with him because the scene always turns out to be better than what you see in the paper. He always has that craving of finding something more to better the scene and I actually love that and this film has a lot more. So, I can’t wait to start shooting. I think we will start shooting in April. So, I will wrap up Mimi and start that," she added.

Kriti is currently busy with the promotions of Panipat which is slated to release on 6th December 2016. The movie also stars Arjun Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in it. The actress plays the role of Parvatibai in the film.

From Hogwarts to headlines, the real cost of childhood fame for Harry Potter’s new stars

As HBO prepares to bring Harry Potter back to screens with a new television adaptation, excitement is high around the casting of Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout as the iconic trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron. But amid the buzz, a quiet voice of caution has emerged. Chris Watson, father of original Hermione actress Emma Watson, is urging parents and the industry to tread carefully when it comes to child stardom.

Chris Watson is not speaking as a critic or industry insider but as someone who watched his daughter grow up inside a global franchise. Emma was nine when she landed the role of Hermione Granger, and what followed was a decade of public attention that reshaped her life. Her father remembers the shift vividly. “Her homework would go back to school on motorbikes,” he once said, pointing to the surreal logistics fame forced on them.
