In an earlier interview with news agency IANS, Kriti Sanon spoke about her character in the film, describing it as 'tomboyish.'

"It's a very tomboyish character. She is a girl living in Bareilly but doing things on her own terms. She is someone who is quite bratty and who questions the basic norms. What I really like about the film is also the fact that every relationship is shown very nicely. Also, for me to play a UP girl was very fresh," IANS quoted Kriti as saying.

Bareilly Ki Barfi is a romantic-comedy, which is set in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on August 18.

Meanwhile, Kriti Sanon was last seen in Dinesh Vijan's Raabta, co-starring Sushant Singh Rajput.

Ayushmann Khurrana was last seen in Meri Pyaari Bindu opposite Parineeti Chopra. After Bareilly Ki Barfi, the 32-year-old actor will be seen in Shubh Mangal Savdhan along with Bhumi Pednekar. His other upcoming film is Sameer Sharma's Manmarziyan.
