Talking more about it she said, “I felt the audience shift with the response which came my way. A lot of people woke up to the actor side of me, which is something every artist desires. Not just the audience, even people in the industry, when you talk to someone or walk into a meeting, you feel that shift in perception… I could sense that.”
Her two films Bareilly Ki Barfi and Luka Chuppi, were to build confidence among the directors to trust her for some big and content-rich projects. She said, “Their confidence in you grows, as an actor and as someone, who can carry a film. When the confidence of people in the industry increases, they feel, ‘Oh a film like this is being loved, people are watching it, so we need to make more of these.’ Today people are not afraid to make a female-led story. I am also more confident today. I have learned on the job to constantly keep thinking of what else can be done, how differently can I perform a scene. You also learn by seeing other performances, collaborating with different filmmakers.”
Kriti was doubtful whether Mimi would do well as it was released digitally and not theatrically. But with the release of Hum Do Hamare Do, Kriti Sanon learned the power of OTT platforms as both the films did extremely well.
She continued saying, “The success felt different. Mimi was my first OTT release. I was initially a little sceptical, thinking if I will get the validation I want as an actor and will the film get that validation. But, the kind of response that came my way, and because it was an OTT release, it just went on. A theatrical release fizzles out in a few weeks, but digitally, a film grows for months, with people watching it across the world. I was overwhelmed with the response.”
