There were reports that suggested that Kriti Sanon will essay the role of a journalist in Akshay Kumar's Bachchan Pandey that's directed by Farhad Samji. But now a report says that she's all set to portray the character of a director.

A report by Pinkvilla stated, "Bachchan Pandey is actually a remake of Jigarthanda that starred Bobby Simha, Lakshmi Menon and Siddharth. The makers Sajid Nadiadwala had been planning to initially remake the film with a different case and at that point, Bachchan Pandey was supposed to be remake of Veeram."
