How Kriti Sanon became the perfect UP girl for ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’

After a long time, ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ is one film that promises to be a terrific blend of humour, quirk and romance. While the trailer gave away blinks of powerful performance from the actors, they all have worked hard to get into the skins of their characters.

Talking about preps, Kriti Sanon who plays a UP girl named Bitti, deserves a special mention. Kriti went through an extensive preparation to make herself look convincing enough! (Also Read: Kriti Sanon looks like a seductress on the cover of FHM magazine)

Few days before the shoot commenced, Kriti traveled to Lucknow and spent around two weeks with a group of college girls. She was keen to observe their accents, body languages and the small nuances of their behaviour.

“Yes, I spent a lot of time with the girls. They were really sweet to take me to their college, share stories about their daily life there, and even about their boyfriends. My conversations with them were of immense help to portray the character I was supposed to. It’s very different from what I have done before and it was a lot of fun to play Bitti,” Kriti said.

Also starring Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana, ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ releases on 18th August.
