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. “I felt it would be tough since I couldn’t go to the gym and didn’t have the advantage of a personal trainer at home. But I shed about 11 kilos during the lockdown. When I was gaining weight, I had increased my food intake. So, in this period, I reverted to my regular [meal plan] and cut down on my sugar intake. I still have to lose four kilos, but everyone around is telling me that those few kilos look good on me.”
