Naman Ramachandran Rising Indian actor Triptii Dimri is expanding her repertoire with a slate of diverse projects, including her first major comedic role and one of Bollywood’s biggest franchises.

Dimri discussed her transition to comedy in the newly released film “Bad Newz,” which is on its way to becoming a major hit, after earlier establishing herself in dramatic roles. “I personally gravitate towards drama a lot, because it’s my favorite genre.

And I think somewhere I had found my comfort there,” Dimri told Variety. “But then there came a point where I was like, now I need to try something else, I need to do something more so that I can improve my craft.” The actor found comedy to be particularly challenging at first. “I remember the first few weeks, I was really struggling to understand the character, or to understand the beats of the film,” she said.

A thematic sequel to 2019 hit pregnancy comedy “Good Newwz,” “Bad Newz” revolves around heteropaternal superfecundation, a reproductive process in which twins are born to the same mother from different biological fathers.
