For Kriti Sanon, it’s 2014 all over again. Only that she and her co-star aren’t two wide-eyed debutants anymore, but two stars who have established themselves firmly on the Bollywood circuit. The actor says she is counting the weeks to the shoot of ‘Ganapath’, which will mark her reunion with ‘Heropanti’ co-star Tiger Shroff.
“It has taken too long to collaborate with my first co-star,” smiles Sanon, who is rigorously prepping for the film. After all, the Vikas Bahl-directed venture will be her first stab at an actioner. “We will begin shooting in July. I am nervous to attempt action opposite Tiger because he is so good at it.
When sharing a frame with him in such a film, you need to be [pitch perfect]; otherwise your [limitations] will be noticed. I think he will help me better my stunts on the set.” The makers announced the project in February with a motion poster that sees Sanon in a femme fatale avatar. Elaborating on her prep, she says, “I will have to learn to ride a bike for the film. My character is written such that she [wields] a lot of power.”
In the past few months, Sanon has been transitioning from one universe to another, juggling the shoot of ‘Bachchan Pandey’, ‘Bhediya’ and ‘Adipurush’. Fortunately, the shoot of ‘Mimi’ had just been wrapped up when the lockdown was imposed last March. The actor says she utilised the stay-at-home period to shed the extra kilos she had piled on for the surrogacy drama. —Times of India
