Kriti Sanon on becoming a producer

In a conversation, Kriti shared her motivation for stepping behind the camera. "The thought was in my head that I wanted to produce content and back it. I am a creative person. I am always excited about the script of projects. I am always excited about what is happening in scenes and not just my part in the film. When I was shooting for Mimi, I got so passionate about Mimi's script. So, I decided back then that whenever I produce a film, I have to feel passionate about it."

Kriti's journey into production began with a search for a deep, layered character to sink her teeth into. "After Mimi, I was looking for a deeper and layered character in a script for a very long time. During my search, I met Kanika Dhillon. I have always loved her writing. I think she writes quirkily. The characters in her scripts are very layered. And then I told her that I wanted to produce a film."

Discussing her collaboration with Kanika, Kriti added, "She had an idea. She asked me whether there was a subject/story I had in my head. I told her. After a month, she came back to me. She married my subject with her idea and created a story out of it. It connected with me immediately. And it is the first time I have been involved in a project right from scratch. I am creatively satisfied as a producer of Do Patti."

Fans eagerly awaiting ‘Do Patti' can look forward to a suspenseful and fresh narrative, highlighting Kriti Sanon's expanding range as both an actress and a producer. The film is set to release on Netflix in 2024.
