Ashwini Iyer Tiwary’s Bareilly Ki Barfi team is currently shooting for the first schedule in Lucknow. Ayushman Khurana will be seen essaying a printing press owner, whereas Kriti Sanon will portray a modern, liberated UP girl and Rajkummar Rao turns author for the flick. In a recent media interaction, Kriti opened up about the details regarding the film.

Kriti Said, “We’re in Lucknow. But we’re going to shoot in Bareilly as well,” says Kriti who giggles when asked if she plays the title role in Bareilly Ki Barfi . “That you will have to see and find out. The title does have significance to my character, and that’s all I can say right now. What I can share with you is that we’re gorging here in Lucknow on jalebis and kebabs.”

The actress further added, “I’ve never been to Lucknow before. And we’re shooting in the heart of the city, in the mohallas, gullis and bylanes where the middleclass lives. It’s all a new experience for me, and I love it. Not that I haven’t played a small town girl before. I did in my very first Hindi film Heropanti. But that girl was educated in a cosmopolitan environment, so she was not a small-towner in her outlook.”
