Adipurush: Kriti Sanon Opens Up About Working With Prabhas; Says ‘Once We Started Chatting, We Were Unstoppable’

‘Who will be portraying the role of Sita in Om Raut’s Adipurush’ was undoubtedly one of the biggest mysteries of 2020. While South superstar Prabhas will be seen as Lord Rama in the mythological film, Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan is playing the role of Ravana. Earlier this month, the team finally revealed that the gorgeous Kriti Sanon has been roped in to play the role of Sita in Adipurush, whereas Sunny Singh will be portraying the role of Lakshmana. They even looked like one happy family in their announcement post!

Well, fans are quite excited to see Kriti in this wonderful new avatar on the big screen. The actress, on the other hand, feels overwhelmed. In a chat with Mid Day, she shared, “I am overwhelmed and grateful that I am playing such an iconic character. The role comes with a lot of pressure because we don’t want to [portray] anything that is not [true to] the part. People’s sentiments are attached to the character.” Talking about her co-actor Prabhas, Kriti revealed, “When I first met him, I thought he was shy, but once we started chatting, we were unstoppable. He is a foodie, and loves feeding his co-stars.”

Other than Adipurush, Kriti has many other exciting projects in the pipeline including Laxman Utekar’s Mimi, Bachchan Pandey co-starring Akshay Kumar and Jacqueline Fernandez and Hum Do Hamare Do opposite Rajkummar Rao. Kriti will also share the silver screen with Varun Dhawan in horror comedy Bhediya. After spending time on Adipurush sets for the next few days, Kriti will head to Arunachal Pradesh for a 15 day schedule of Bhediya. She will then resume another schedule of Adipurush. Busy busy!
