Sargun Mehta who is known for outstanding performances in films like Qismat, Qismat 2, Saunkan Saunkane, Surkhi Bindi and many more has now been roped against Bollywood Star Akshay Kumar for the psychological thriller movie ‘Cuttputlli.’
While pouring her heart out on how she feels about making a debut in the Bollywood industry, Sargun said, “I am very excited to start my OTT innings and doing something in Hindi after a long hiatus of seven years. There's a huge audience for thrillers which is why I wanted to do a different and strong character. I am hopeful about the outcome and now waiting for the audience's reaction."
Throwing some light on her role in Cuttputlli, Sargun explained, “It is a very powerful role; I was really tense because I had to do scenes with Akshay. He already has a strong presence in my mind as I have been watching him for so long. It is the first time I am playing the role of a cop.”
She further added that there are times in the film when she has to instruct and overpower him. She said that she felt scared at first but then forgot all about him and gave her a shot accordingly.
“I have not rehearsed any roles before doing them. I have done all the roles the Sargun way”, she added further.
Sargun also threw some light on why did she choose ‘Cuttputlli’ to be her first OTT film. To this, the actor responded, “When I heard the script I couldn't guess who the killer is and I feel this is how a good mystery works. You keep guessing and thinking about where this film is going to take you and later it took me to a completely new direction which I feel was quite impressive."

She also explained the working environment when the film has Akshay Kumar in it.
She said, “Even on the sets while shooting he will make everything comfortable for you. He is very appreciative, always gives a free hand at improving. Also, one amazing thing about shooting with him is it's his habit that the whole team has to have dinner together so that the bond within the team is strong."
After this movie, Sargun will again be seen in the Punjabi movie ‘Moh’ on September 16.
Cuttputlli is all set to release on 2nd September 2022 only on Disney Plus Hotstar.
