Kriti Sanon says she was thrilled to finally share significant screen time with senior actor Kajol in her upcoming movie "Do Patti".
The mystery thriller film, which also marks Kriti's production debut, features her in a dual role alongside Kajol. It is their second collaboration after "Dilwale" in 2015.
The actor said she was glad to share some "meaty scenes" with Kajol, something they couldn't do when they worked on "Dilwale", which was directed by Rohit Shetty and also starred Shah Rukh Khan and Varun Dhawan.
"I was excited that finally, I would get to do some meaty scenes with her which I didn't get during 'Dilwale'. I feel she's just getting better and better in the way she looks and the way she is just on set. "I love that it's always collaborative and we're discussing the scene and she's really involved, whether it is helping you here and there or also patting on your back, which means a lot coming from her. I had a blast and was like, 'Oh my God, I'm finally getting to do this'," Kriti told PTI in an interview.
Kajol said she couldn't get to know Kriti during the making of "Dilwale" as they didn't have too many scenes together.
"This was quite a welcome surprise. She has definitely grown and you can see that from 'Dilwale' to here, it's been quite a journey picking up a National Award along the way as well. So, it's been a wonderful experience to watch that," the actor said.
Written by Kanika Dhillon and directed by debutant Shashanka Chaturvedi, "Do Patti" revolves around twin sisters and a determined police inspector (played by Kajol) who is investigating a case of an attempted murder in the fictional town of Devipur, Uttarakhand.
