The actress will reunite with her Luka Chuppi director Laxman Utekar and co-star Pankaj Tripathi in Dinesh Vijan's production. “It’s not preachy or serious. It’s not like you are going to watch a film on surrogacy and it’s going to be a documentary film. It’s a very entertaining film, filled with humour, and a lot of ups and downs. There’s a beautiful graph of the woman I am playing, Mimi, where she wants to be an actress. She is a dancer and she is ambitious and wants to be an actress and how she ends up becoming a surrogate mother and what all happens, how her life changes and with that she changes. It’s a beautiful script,” Kriti said during Panipat promotions on Monday.

Speaking about the film, Kriti further said that she was totally impressed with the script. “It’s a very special role for me because surrogacy is a topic that hasn’t been explored so much here. The way Laxman sir makes the film and the way Rohan has written it, they have a knack of taking a subject and making it entertaining.”

The actress also revealed that they have finished 40 percent of the film. “I felt I was ready and so was my audience. I have finished 40 percent of the shoot. Laxman sir and I have a great tuning. I tell him that we even have telepathy because we end up saying the same thing many times or if there’s a scene, I have an idea, he also has the same idea," she concluded.

On the work front, Kriti Sanon's next film Panipat is scheduled for a December 6 release. Interestingly, she also has a cameo in Pati Patni Aur Woh which is clashing with Panipat. Besides Mimi, she is also starring in Bachchan Pandey which is set for December 2020 release.
