While Kajol is playing a police officer for the first time on screen, Sanon is turning her hand at production through her Blue Butterfly Films production house alongside Kanika Dhillon’s Kathha Pictures. Directed by debut filmmaker Shashanka Chaturvedi and written by Dhillon, the film will see Sanon in a double role as rival twins going up against Shaheer Sheikh, whose character is determined to protect his own secrets.
Reflecting on her role as Vidya Jyothi, Kajol shares: “As an actor, I have always looked forward to roles that allow me to connect with my audience.
“This being the first time I play a police officer, I can't wait for my fans to see me in this new avatar. Bringing this powerful story to life has been rewarding.”
The twisted tale unfolds in a fictional hilly town named Devipur, where police inspector Vidya Jyothi (Kajol) finds herself drawn to a series of unsettling events involving Saumya (Sanon) and her husband Dhruv Sood (Sheikh). When Saumya’s twin sister, Shailee, suddenly arrives at the hill station, her intrigue deepens, leaving Vidya to question whether anything is truly as it seems within this web of half-truths and half-lies.
Sanon said: “Do Patti is incredibly special to me, not just because it's my first film as a producer, but also because it allowed me to explore my own duality on-screen. This film has been like my baby; Kanika and I have nurtured it from the start, especially in our capacity as producers and it's truly fulfilling to see this journey through with Netflix.

“Do Patti also has a poignant message woven in which is the reason why I chose to produce this film as my first, and I can't wait for audiences to experience it.”
Releasing on the streaming platform worldwide this week, Netflix promises a cinematic experience with ‘Do Patti’ that will linger long after the credits roll.
Dhillon adds: “Collaborating with two powerhouse performers, Kriti and Kajol, was an absolute delight. I am glad that this powerful tale of sibling rivalry, and redemption with a gut-wrenching message can be enjoyed by audiences across the world thanks to Netflix and their global viewership.”
