Kriti Sanon who will be seen next alongside Kajol in Do Patti, is also venturing into the world of production with the film. Sharing her motivation for stepping behind the camera, she said, “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 said her 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.”

Do Patti will soon have a Netflix release.
