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.
