Actress Sargun Mehta, who has already established🐻 herself in the Punjabi film industry, will be seen in 'Cuttputli' along with Akshay Kumar, Rakul Preet Singh, Chandrachur Singh.
Directed by Ranjit Tiwari, this will be Sar🐓𓆏gun's OTT debut. She opens about this and doing a Hindi project after a gap of seven years.
Sargun says: "I am very excited to start my OTT innings and doing something in Hindi after a long hiatus of seven years . There's a🐭 huge audience for thrillers which is📖 why I wanted to do a different and strong character. I am hopeful about the final outcome and now waiting for the audience's reaction."
Throwing more light on the role she adds: "It is a very powerful role; I was really tense because I had to do s♚cenes with Akshay. He already ha💫s a strong presence in my mind as I have been watching him for so long.
"There are times in the films that I have to overpower him in terms of telling him what to do and what not to do. I'd mentally prepared myself to forget it'⛦s him and do my shot accordingly. I am playing a cop for the first time.
"People usually rehearse their roles or watch other's performances if the same role has been done ear🅷lier, but I didn't do that because I wanted to do it the Sargun way."
W♈hat makes 'Cuttputlli' stand out as a murder mystꦚery?
Sargun explains: "When I heard the script I myself couldn't guess who the killer is and I feel this is how a good 🐽mystery works. You keep guessing and thinking about where this film is going to take you and later it took me to a completely new direction wꦇhich I feel was quite impressive."
On what she learnt while working with Akshay, she said: "It was super amaꦍzing to meet him in person. The first day I met him I was too quiet so he used to tell me 'tu bolti nahi hai kya?' (Don't you speak?) And I was thinking, how am I supposed to tell him that I am so scared. I must say he makes his co-actors feel so comfortable and its very easy to work with him."
"Even on the sets while shooting he will make everything comfor♑table for you. He is very appreciative, always gives a free hand at improving.
"Also, one amazing thing about shooting with him is it's his habit tha🤪t the whole team has to have dinner together so that the bond withinꦅ the team is strong."
After 'Cu💫ttputli', her Punjabi film 'Moh' is releasing on September 16.
