Basking in the new found love in front of the camera, Kriti Sanon is all set to explore the world behind it. The Akshay Kumar-starrer Bachchan Pandey sees the actor playing a filmmaker. "Playing a director is interesting and something I've never done before," says Sanon of the Farhad Samji directorial film.

After finishing up a schedule in Jaisalmer, the actor says, "It is a lot of fun to be in the creative space of a director and truly feel what is running in his/her head. There is a lot to learn [about the] character [and channel] her strength. I play a Mumbai girl, who is used to making her own decisions," adds the actor, who will be sharing screen space with Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi and her Bareilly Ki Barfi co-star Pankaj Tripathi.]

Juggling between Om Raut's Adipurush, where she plays Sita and Bhediya opposite Varun Dhawan, Sanon says she is yet to wrap up Bachchan Pandey. "We have a lot of time in hand as the film is releasing in January 2022. A major chunk of the film has been wrapped up. I still have about a week's schedule left, which will be completed in Mumbai," she adds.
