Kriti Sanon whose upcoming films, Bareily Ki Barfi and Lucknow Central are set in Uttar Pradesh, will be learning the local language to make her portrayal more convincing. The actress who debuted with Sajid Nadiadwala's Heropanti has been doing a lot of research on the culture, body language and diction of the state.

“We are doing workshops and readings together with director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari for Bareily Ki Barfi. One person from our team is from UP and he is helping us with the diction. I am also watching a few videos of locals giving speeches and trying to pick up words they pronounce differently. My character in Bareily Ki Barfi is from a small town but in Lucknow Central I'm a strong-headed and well-educated NGO worker,“ the actress pointed out.

In Bareily Ki Barfi, a sweet romcom Kriti will be seen alongside Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajukummar Rao, while Lucknow Central features Farhan Akhtar.
