Kriti Sanon on ‘unique’ spark with Sushant

They are yet to begin shooting for filmmaker Dinesh Vijan’s next project, but Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon said she already feels a strong chemistry with co-star Sushant Singh Rajput.

The duo will be acting alongside for the first time in the yet-untitled film.

“Dinesh asked us to do a scene from the movie. We were sitting on the sofa and did it impromptu. There was something special, something you can’t describe in words. There was a connect, a spark, some chemistry between me and Sushant, even though that was the first time we met,” Sanon said.

“That kind of thing coming out in the first meeting was very different and unique for all of us. The film has a beautiful script. It is something which we three are very passionate about and there is some great energy between three of us,” she added.

Without divulging details about the film, the 25-year-old actress said it will show the audience a different side of her.

“It is about love, dreams, destiny... It is different from what I have already done. I will be starting February end-March beginning. Sushant would be done with Dhoni by then.

Rajput will play the role of Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in biographical film, Dhoni: The Untold Story.

“After that we will go into a little prep and then begin shooting. I remember the first time I met Dinesh a few months ago, it was for something else and while talking, he narrated me this script. Sushant was already involved with it. I went back home and it stayed with me for days and after some time I met Dinesh and told him that I would love to do the film,” Sanon said.

Sanon has worked on just two films and is aware of the competition in Bollywood.

“I consider everyone competition. I don’t keep a tab on their work but there is a good, healthy competition. Whether it is Alia [Bhatt], Shraddha [Kapoor] or Parineeti [Chopra], everyone is doing so well. They have done so many films. Technically, I am the newest of all,” she said.

While Sanon comes from a non-film background, many of her contemporaries are the children of Bollywood stars.

The actress, however, says that it’s hard work that matters most.

“When you belong to a filmy family, you can get an advantage in the first few opportunities. I totally believe that beyond a certain number of films, it is only your talent that can take you ahead. I don’t think just belonging to a film background you can survive in the industry.”
