I hope people make more such films, and take the risk of putting good enough money into them (female-driven films),” Sanon told PTI in a group interaction at the IIFA Utsavam 2024 here when asked about the change for women in cinema post “Crew” success.</p><p>The actor, known for her work in films such as “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya”, “Mimi”, and “Bareilly Ki Barfi”, said it has been a conscious decision to play diverse roles.</p><p>“You need to keep reinventing and doing different stuff, that’s what I try and aim. Both ‘Teri Baaton Mein…’ and ‘Crew’ are different films. My next, ‘Do Patti’ is going to be different.
