Bachchhan Paandey comes as a refreshing change of pace for Kriti Sanon. From Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) to Luka Chuppi (2019) and Mimi (2021), the actor has played more than her share of small-town characters in the recent past. “In Bachchhan Paandey, I am playing an urban girl after a long time. She is a go-getter who wants to make a [biopic], and chooses a dangerous guy as the subject,” she says. The actioner, featuring Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez and Arshad Warsi, has been helmed by Farhad Samji.
