While earlier, makers were in confusion about the leading lady, when the film was in the scripting stage, they have now zeroed in on Kriti, perhaps, after the massive success of Housefull 4.

Kriti said that she is beyond excited to work with Akshay and director Farhad Samji. She also took to her official Twitter handle to share her excitement about the upcoming project.

“Thrilled and beyond excited for this reunion! This Christmas is gonna be indeed a Merry Merry one! Can’t wait to start #BachchanPandey,” she told Mumbai Mirror.

Sajid Nadiadwala, who launched her and Tiger Shroff in the 2014 film, Heropanti, also commented on Kriti being part of the project.

“Akshay and Kriti’s pairing delighted the audience in Housefull 4. I have seen her grow as an actor since Heropanti and I feel, she can pull off this role alongside Akshay,”

Details about the film are still under wraps.

Bachchan Pandey is set in India and will be shot in the country.

Kriti will also be seen in Ashutosh Gowariker’s upcoming film Panipat alongside Arjun Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt.
