Kriti Sanon turns tomboy

In Bareilly Ki Barfi Kriti Sanon plays a fiercely independent tomboy. Kriti says, “It was a tough role to shoot as I play a tomoboyish character and had to talk in the Uttar Pradesh lingo. Rohit Choudhury, who is also in the film and from Lucknow taught us all the intonations, pauses and how to pitch the dialogues. My role is of a deglamourised tomboy who wears denims, kurtas, half jackets and loose pullovers. I had to incorporate little things into the character and think how else to make her a little more different. She works in the electricity department and takes in all the complaints so she’s quite independent and strong-headed and questions a lot of things. What attracted to me the role was that it’s not just unique, fun and special but the way it is written — it keeps you entertained throughout with the humour and romance. It’s something I have never done before and I get attracted to quirky characters. My role is completely opposite to who I am.”
