'Extremely draining': Kriti on playing Mukti in 'Tere Ishk Mein'
What's the story
The trailer of Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Aanand L Rai, has taken the internet by storm with over 90 million views across platforms. The film, set to release on November 28, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages, features A.R. Rahman's soundtrack. Lead actor Kriti Sanon recently opened up about her character and the challenges she faced while portraying it.
Character insights
Sanon discussed the challenges of playing Mukti
Sanon described her character, Mukti, as having a "very diverse graph." She said, "What she starts from, what she ends up becoming, her choices, her decisions... There are a lot of layers to what she is doing." "A lot is sometimes not said... There is no dialogue at times to help you, and it just has to be translated in your eyes. That was something new and I really enjoyed it."
Emotional drain
Sanon revealed the toll of intense scenes on her
Sanon also spoke about the emotional and physical toll of filming long, intense scenes in the climax. "There are a lot of really intense scenes... both physically and emotionally, those scenes were extremely draining." "I could feel that low energy in everyone around on set and could even feel it in my vanity with my team. At times when I went back home, it stayed with me."
Climax portrayal
Sanon described climax as 'most intense bit of the film'
Sanon further elaborated on how the pre-climax and climax scenes are the emotional high point of Mukti's journey. She called them "the most intense bit of the film" and said they were the part that "pulled me down the most." Tere Ishk Mein also stars Dhanush, who'll be pairing up with Sanon for the first time.
