Mumbai 11th September : There is nothing more thrilling for TV actress Suhani Dhanki than to have an appearance in the Akshay Kumar-directed film “Cuttputli”. “This was in the time of the pandemic in which a number of films appeared to have been made in the UK.I was approached by the amazing casting team, who were looking for an actor from the UK to play the part.I took part in an audition and, after a few months I was offered the role.”
“Fortunately I played the part of an RJ who is pregnant and helped Akshay find the main character in the action thriller” writes Suhani, who last appeared in the television show “Porus,” in which she played the part of Laacchi, the protagonist.
The director is Ranjit Tewari.

“Even even though he’s a star, he had such warm energy and a relaxed personality.Additionally, he has an absolutely hilarious sense of humor and is extremely spontaneous.I’ve always found him to be interesting.He’s always been doing it! I enjoy the way he looks in his cop costume and his comical poker face.”
Although she is located in London, Suhani wants to concentrate on her work both in India as well as in the UK.”I’m extremely keen to concentrate on my acting career both in India as well as in the UK.I’d like to explore various kinds of roles, but particularly those of strong powerful, strong women.”

Dhanki is trained as a Bharatnatyam dancer, and is famous for her roles in films such as Madri in 2013’s ‘Mahabharat’, says that even though a lot of films are available on OTT however, going to a movie with companions in cinema halls is a whole an appeal and a sense of fun.
Suhani says: “I think watching a film in cinemas was enjoyable, but it was more of an experience we enjoyed with family or friends.But, with the aforementioned pandemic, where people have become used to consume content quickly and keeping in mind the subscription model, people are more comfortable watching movies in their home.
“Also there is a belief that a film that’s been made available in cinemas will get an OTT release regardless.If it’s a good decision or not is a matter of debate but I would say it’s a safer option given the quantity of time effort, effort, and money involved in making each film.”
