Tall, Beautiful and talented are only some
of the words that describe the actress who made an impact in Indian film
industry with just two films. Kriti Sanon has biggest directors expressing their
desire to work with her and she has definitely built a Raabta with the audience
in a short time. However, her entry in to Bollywood can be termed as destined
considering the long amount of months that her first film Director Sabbir Khan
spent in chasing this beauty. While Tiger Shroff was locked for making his
debut in Heropanti, Sabbir Khan was on a look out for a fresh face to cast opposite
Tiger. The day when Sabbir had scheduled a meeting with his team to brief them
with his requirement from the new talent, he spotted Kriti in a toothpaste advertisement
while surfing through Television channels before leaving from home for the
meeting. Her screen presence immediately made an impact on the director. Sabbir
ended up briefing the team to find Kriti. Through the agency of the brand,
Sabbir came to know about Kriti and her background but also the fact that she
was already signed for a movie and hence blocked with regards to dates for
shooting. Leaving it at that note, Sabbir moved forward with his search for the
leading lady of his film. Few months later, Sabbir got the news that the film
Kriti was suppose to act in is not happening any more. Escalated and hopeful,
Sabbir got in touch with the agency but again to his disappointed Kriti got
signed for a Telugu film opposite Mahesh Babu. Finally patience of Sajid Nadiadwala,
the producer of the film gave up and he gave an deadline to Sabbir to lock the
new face before a certain date. One day before finalizing from other short
listed new comers, still with the thought of Kriti being the actress of his
film, Sabbir requested Sajid Nadiadwala to make a call to the agency and
enquire about Kriti as he didn’t wish to have a regret in future for not giving
chance to the probability. Fortunately for everyone, Kriti was in Mumbai as she
had a break time post the shooting of first schedule of her Telugu film. The
team called her for the audition the next morning. Kriti managed to impress the
film maker by her reaction to the flow of the script narration and her dialect.
Without wasting any time, Sabbir immediately drove Kriti to Sajid Nadiadwala’s
office and broke the news to her 10 min before meeting the successful producers
that she is going to sign the film. Though for Sabbir and others associated
with the film, the search for Kriti was months long but on the flip side, for
Kriti she bagged the film in half a day. Showcasing her whistle baja performance
in the very first film, Kriti proved that she was here to stay. While Kriti
Sanon continues to be the choice of celebrated film makers, with her powerful
presence on and off screen, she is successful in making the crowd sigh - Mann
Ma emotion Jage Re !
