'This is actually the absolute first time I'm doing comedy, and let me tell you, it is very difficult,' Chitrangda admits. 'I genuinely believe it's harder to make people laugh than to make them cry.'
She describes the genre as an entirely different skillset, one that demands precision, restraint, and rhythm. 'It's a different ball game altogether. You have to be so smooth that all your jokes and timing land perfectly. It's not just about delivering a funny line - it's about the energy, the pacing, the setup. Comedy is serious business.'
While the film promises humor, Chitrangda hints that it's not all fun and games. 'You can expect me doing some comedy, yes - but the film is not just comedy. There are a lot of twists and turns. It's a very interesting script,' she says. 'The character is definitely going to surprise you.'
In Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, Chitrangda captivated audiences as Nandini Basak, the formidable Leader of the Opposition. With yet another powerful performance, she reaffirmed her versatility and the quiet strength she brings to every role.
Not stopping with Housefull 5, Chitrangda will also be seen next in Raat Akeli Hai 2, further solidifying her ability to navigate diverse genres with ease.

Akshay Kumar is currently holidaying in London with his family and recently the actor was seen taking a walk on the streets in the most casual avatar. As his videos went viral, fans loved to see the actor in his fit avatar and full swag.

The actor was earlier seen in 'Housefull 5' and 'Kesari 2' this year and both were drastically different.

Rawal said on Himanshu Mehta's podcast, 'They're all creatives—Priyadarshan, Akshay, Suniel—we've known each other for years.' He confirmed that they met and sorted it out, thus things are back on track.

Amitabh Bachchan praises son Abhishek: Never give up

Agency: PTI New Delhi, Jul 20 (PTI) Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan penned a heartfelt note admiring his son, Abhishek Bachchan, who has recently completed 25 years in the acting industry. Amitabh shared a post on his blog on Saturday. 'The essence of life is NEVER GIVE UP .. fight till the very end .. you may win you may lose .. BUT AT LEAST YOU FOUGHT. The 'pluckiest' .. (the trait of showing courage and determination) loser has more respect than the 'so called winner ' .. for the pluckiest loser always shall be remembered by – 'he fought and almost WON'. That has a greater sense of success than the more monetary guideline of commercial success .. 25 years !! that is no mean feat .. comparisons with others is a weakness .. the results speak more than any other 'ness'," the post began. 'You Abhishek have ever and ALWAYS compared yourself with yourself .. not many can do that .. And each day I learn more and more and more .. They tell me you have done enough sit back and relax ..NO .. sitting back is a defeat of life – you are giving up .. and one should NEVER GIVE UP," he added. Abhishek made his debut in 2000, alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan in 'Refugee". Directed by J P Dutta, the film featured Abhishek in the role of a nameless Indian Muslim, who helps illegal refugees cross the border between India and Pakistan in the Great Rann of Kutch. His latest work is 'Housefull 5", co-starring with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Sonam Bajwa among others. Released on June 6, the film is the fifth installment of the 'Housefull" franchise, which began in 2010.
