Kriti Sanon in Cocktail 2

Story highlights

Following her performance as Ally in Cocktail 2, Kriti Sanon has expressed a strong desire to break away from "safe" roles. Inspired by intense performances in projects like Obsession, she wants to challenge herself by playing a psychologically complex character next.

Fresh off the buzz surrounding her portrayal of Ally in the upcoming Cocktail 2, Kriti Sanon continues to impress audiences with her evolving choice of characters. Known for constantly pushing herself with diverse roles, the national award-winning actress has made it clear that she is now keen to explore even more challenging and unconventional performances as she looks ahead in her career.

Kriti revealed that she is keen to take on the role of a psychotic character, admitting that she no longer wants to play it safe as an actor. Recalling how performances by Zendaya and the lead actress of Obsession inspired her, she said, "When I watched Obsession, I was like, 'Oh my God, we need to stop going safe. We need to do something out of the box.' It really excited me."

Elaborating on why such roles appeal to her, Kriti added, "I want to play a mad character. I want to play a psycho chick. I don't want to be safe. As an actor, it's so exciting to live a life that's completely different from your own and explore a person you're not. I'd absolutely love to play someone completely psychotic." She further shared that psychologically complex stories fascinate her because they allow audiences to experience lives, they would never encounter in reality.

With her willingness to constantly reinvent herself and embrace challenging roles, Kriti's aspiration to portray a psychologically complex character signals another exciting chapter in her journey as an actor. Given her evolving choices and fearless approach to storytelling, it will be interesting to see when she finally brings this darker, unconventional avatar to the big screen.
