That she has a knack for comedy has been evident in her past outings, Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) and Luka Chuppi. But Kriti Sanon, only five years old in the industry, has shown that she has an appetite for risk by pushing her comic streak further and taking on a spoof film in Arjun Patiala.

Underlining how Bollywood needs to wake up to the genre and its potential, she says, "In the West, spoof has been used well in films like Deadpool (2016), where the characters are making fun of themselves. Personally, I love the genre. Arjun Patiala is a kind of comedy that hasn't been attempted in Bollywood before. It's an experiment in that regard. As an industry, we need to start taking risks to prosper and grow." The over-the-top histrionics of leading man Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Sharma and Sanon in the trailer haven't missed the audience's notice. One to have always kept her acts sublime, the actor says it took her a while to understand the exaggerated universe of Arjun Patiala.
