“I couldn’t have imagined a more fulfilling journey in cinema for myself than being groomed by Aditya Chopra
and working with film-makers like Rohit Shetty (Golmaal Again), Maneesh Sharma (Shuddh Desi Romance), Dibakar Banerjee (Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar), Amole Gupte (Saina), Habib
Faisal (Ishaqzaade), Vinil Mathew (Hasee Toh Phasee), Anurag Singh (Kesari) and Ribhu Dasgupta (The Girl On The Train),” says the actress about her ten years in Bollywood.
In 2022, Parineeti will be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Sooraj Barjatya‘s Uunchai in which she is sharing the screen with the iconic Amitabh Bachchan and stalwarts Anupam Kher and Boman Irani.
Pari says, “The fact that I’m now working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Sooraj Barjatya Sir in the same calendar year is incredible! Working with Sooraj Sir is a dream for any actor, including me. My parents were thrilled when I told them that he had cast me in Uunchai.”
Sooraj Barjatya has made several wholesome universal entertainers like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Saath - Saath Hain, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, etc, and Parineeti says, “I can’t believe that Sooraj Sir, who has worked with the best of the best and created milestones in Indian cinema, has chosen me to be a part of his cinematic vision. Being his heroine is another blessing that 2021 gave me.” “I consider myself very fortunate to have been directed by some of the best cinematic geniuses in Indian cinema.”
