“Happy That I Have Ticked The Box of Being Directed By Aanand L Rai”- Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon will be seen opposite Dhanush in Aanand L Rai’s next film, Tere Ishk Mein. It is touted to be the spiritual sequel of Rai’s Raanjhanaa, a film which completed 12 years. A special fan screening was held recently to celebrate the film, and Kriti, too, joined in. During the celebration, the actress, in her most candid self, took to the mic and said, “I should be sitting with the fans there. I have had the pleasure of working with all these people. We have not had a scene. And I was not supposed to say that!” She continued, “I am so, so glad to be a part of Tere Ishk Mein. I am assuming all of you know (that we are doing this film).”

As fans cheered, Kriti added, “It is coming this year. I am a huge fan of Raanjhanaa and all the artists involved in this film. Aanand sir ke toh main peeche hi padi thi ki ‘Aap kab love story bana rahe ho?’ I am really, really happy that I have ticked the box of being directed by Aanand L Rai in a love story.”

Kriti also spoke about her co-star Dhanush and said, “I have always been a huge fan of Dhanush. It’s been a pleasure working with you. We still have some more days to go. So, I am looking forward to those few days that we have together on screen. If you all have loved Raanjhanaa so much that even after 12 years, you are here, and if you love stories, hopefully you will enjoy Tere Ishk Mein! And hopefully, I will see you all in November end during a fan screening of this sort (smiles).”

While Tere Ishk Mein has been in the making for a while, insiders describe it as a marathon journey for Kriti, both emotionally and physically. The role demanded she dig deep, explore new shades of vulnerability, and break free from what audiences have seen of her before.

With Kriti confirming a year-end release of Tere Ishk Mein, fans are looking forward to one of the most awaited love stories of the year.
