Hrishitaa Bhatt plays a village girl from Haryana in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho. Director Vinod Kapri wanted the actress to look rustic in this political-satire that also has Annu Kapoor, Rahul Bagga and Ravi Kishen in lead roles.

He says, "I wanted Hrishitaa's character Maya to have a dusky look and a village girl's demeanour. Another requirement for the role was getting her to grasp the Haryanvi dialect. I must say that she transformed well and has met all these requirements."

When asked about her character as a simpleton, the actress said, "This is the best time for Indian cinema when artistes are exploring their credentials and are open to experimenting with their roles. As an actor, I don't wish to limit myself to my comfort zone of playing glamorous characters. With this movie, people will see me in an absolute deglam avatar. It's the script and the role that gets my interest and I'm just following my rules."
