Kriti Sanon is all set to play the role of a crime journalist in Arjun Patiala, which co-stars Diljit Dosanjh and Varun Sharma. The trailer of the "spoofy kind of a comedy", as quoted by Kriti, was released recently and featured 1980s-style voice that narrated unusual tales from the making of a typical Bollywood cop film. While everyone kept wondering who was behind the voice, the cat is finally out of the bag as a report in a leading daily confirms that it was none other than comedian Sunil Grover.
Reportedly, Sunil has been roped as a narrator to tell-tale Diljit's, Kriti's and Varun's story in Arjun Patiala. Rohit Jugraj, who has directed the comedy film, informed the leading daily, "We tried a couple of voices, but something was missing. We wanted someone who could imitate the vibe of the retro radio days. One day, Sunil was at the same studio as us, and upon hearing us out, got the tone we needed a spot on effortlessly." Sunil, on the other hand, said that everything fell in place by accident. When prodded if he would feature in a film like Arjun Patiala, which is “gutsy as it showcases the other side of the world", the comedian replied, "Right now, there is nothing on cards, but I would love to do such a film, depending on the script."
Meanwhile, Rohit calls Sunil inclusion in the film as 'cherry on the top'. Talking about it, he concluded, "His presence just added more quirk to the comedy. Like everyone else, even I am his fan. He is making his place in Bollywood with good roles in different genres.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan, Bhushan Kumar, Sandeep Leyzell and Krishan Kumar, Arjun Patiala is slated to hit the screens on July 26.
