While Kriti Sanon is working on the Ashutosh Gowariker magnum opus Panipat, she also has a long in waiting comedy Arjun Patiala pending for release. The makers have announced the release date for July this year.

“Yes, it is releasing on July 19. It is a different kind of comedy. Very spoofy. I don’t think we had something like that in recent times. I am still in the middle of dubbing it and I am happy that it is finally releasing. I had shot for it long before I had done Luka Chuppi and Housefull 4 and when I went to dub for the film, I had forgotten a lot of stuff,” confesses the actress.

The film has Kriti working with Diljit Dosanjh and Varun Sharma. Talking about her co-stars the actor says, “Varun is like a brother and his chemistry with Diljit is kamaal. Diljit is a brilliant actor and I had not met him before shooting. We shot some montage sequences together for a song first and we hit it off. We could feel that it was good fun chemistry there. When you have a brilliant actor with you, the chemistry gets set from the first scene.”

The actress has been in quite a few romantic comedies of late, and she seems to love the genre. “I love comedy as it is difficult to make people laugh and make their stress go away. I have a different character of a crime journalist in Arjun Patiala. She is serious about her profession in a comic environment,” says the actress.
