After sharing the screen space with actors like Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan, the immensely talented newbie will be seen in Katrina Kaif-Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Jagga Jasoos' and we have heard that her character will be that of a 14-year-old. She will play the character of Ranbir's friend.
The actress even chopped her locks before going for an audition so as to appear convincing. After being selected for the role, she insisted director Anurag Basu for short hair to which he finally agreed.
Hindustan Times quoted Sayani as saying in the press statement: “It’s the best casting of my life. I love dada (Anurag Basu) to have had the imagination to see me as a little girl who is all of 14 years. I loved his audition process as well, it was so simple. He is quite a genius and this character will always be very close to my heart. People who have seen me in the look can’t believe that I am not a teen.”
“I remember I had cut my hair and went for the audition and dada was quite surprised because actors don’t do these things before they have gotten the part. And once I went on set on the first day of shoot, and we were deciding the look for the character, I insisted that I should cut my hair in this little bob. Ajay, Ranbir’s hair stylist was all excited to chop my locks, but Dada wasn’t convinced at first but I had the look so vivid in my mind, that after a while with Ranbir’s help, I finally managed to convince dada. He was super happy with the look. And then I just got stuck in this short hair look for over two years now. And I love it,” the gorgeous actress added.
This news has raised our expectations a notch higher. Well, it seems Sayani is unstoppable now.
This is second time Sayani will be seen with Katrina Kaif. Previously she has shared screen space with Katrina in 'Baar Baar Dekho'
