On being asked by a newspaper on how she feels having two releases in 2021, she shares, "It's a mix... Shakun's film is what he calls a domestic noir. I'm very excited to be working with him,Deepika and Sid, we've all become really close. Plus, the shooting experience in Goa. It feels like I have another family on that set. Working with Puri sir was a completely different experience. It's an out and out masala action comedy. It's a Pan-India film, releasing in 4 languages."
Ananya Panday has been back and forth on sets of Shakun's next while also shooting for her Pan-India film Fighter. Her performance in Khaali Peeli received praises from all over, her performance was being lauded and being the first film that hit screens post lockdown, it faired well.
Starting 2021 on a high note, she has a Pan-India film Fighter directed by Puri Jagannadh alongside Vijay Deverakonda and Shakun Batra's untitled next alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi and Deepika Padukone.
