New Delhi: Actress Kriti Sanon, who has only done three films, Heropanti, Dilwale and Raabta since venturing into Bollywood in 2014, says it has been a slow start for her, but it’s not something done purposely.
Asked if she feels it’s a slow start for her in Bollywood, Kriti said, “It’s not something done purposely. I think sometimes certain films demand more time. Raabta demanded this much time. I had signed Raabta before Dilwale released, but I had to prepare for two months before I started shooting for it. Then, there had to be a gap between both the schedules.” The 27-year-old says she had to learn swimming, scuba diving and horse riding for Raabta.
“I never want to do a film just for the heck of it, rather do it right. That could be one of the reasons that I had to give so much time to certain films. I had signed a film called Farzi and blocked the dates, but it didn’t happen…So it has been a slow start,” she added. After Raabta, which released Friday, Kriti is now looking forward to Bareilly Ki Barfi, which has been directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.
“In this one year, I have shot for Raabta and completed Bareilly Ki Barfi, so it is a back to back release,” she said.
Bareilly Ki Barfi, which is slated to release July 21, is a romantic comedy rooted in the subculture of the north Indian city Bareilly. The film also stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao.
The film will feature Ayushmann as the owner of a printing press. Rajkummar will be seen as an author and Kriti as a straightforward girl. IANS
