The director confirmed the news,stating that she plays Akshaye Khanna’s love interest in the action comedy he is now directing.

“Kangana is a very good actress but she has,sadly,only been seen in roles that have required her to look devastated and depressed. I thought this character would be a good change for her as well as for the audience and Kangana too,showed immediate interest.”

The actress agrees,adding that she is happy to play a character that is a departure from her previous work.

“It’s a genre that I personally love and I am glad to be able to a comedy film and with such established a star cast,” she said.

Unwilling to reveal too much too early,Bazmee,who is credited for successful comedies like Singh is Kinng,No Entry and Welcome,said that the winsome actress plays a young,bubbly and romantic girl in the first half while the second half of the film sees her partake in the action that follows.

“She wants to do as much action herself as can but we won’t push her too much and use a duplicate where necessary,” he explains.

The director seems extremely impressed by Ranaut’s histrionics. “She has performed all the characters she has essayed very well and has improved with every movie. And it’s evident that Kangana puts in a lot of hard work. I have sketched out a strong character for Kangana and I’m sure she will live to everyone’s expectation and make everyone laugh.” That’s a lot of confidence,we must say.
