2021 has been an exciting year for Parineeti Chopra. After the back-to-back releases of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Saina, and The Girl On The Train, she's now gearing up for Sooraj Barjatya's directorial drama Uunchai. The actress poured her heart out as she spoke about getting the opportunity to be directed by the filmmaker. She wished Amitabh Bachchan on his 79th birthday in the same post and also spoke about the other principal actors of the film.

She wrote, "Thrilled and honoured to be a part of the iconic cinematic universe of Sooraj Barjatya sir. Sooraj sir has defined, and is the torchbearer of India's family entertainers and I can't wait to work under his tutelage; alongside this stellar and incredible cast. Mr. Bachchan, happy birthday sir! This is a special day, and a special moment. @amitabhbachchan . Especially excited to be working once again with Anupam sir @anupampkher , Boman sir @boman_irani , and Neena mam @neena_gupta . And for the first time with Sarika ma'am and Danny sir. Let this magical journey begin."

In an 'Ask Me Anything' session hosted in June, Parineeti spoke about her 3 releases this year- 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', 'Saina' and 'The Girl On The Train'.

"2021 will remain a special year for me. It's the year I released 3 films within a single month, and all 2 gave me back all the love and critics reviews. Cannot be more grateful," she said.

On the work front, Parineeti Chopra was last seen in Dibakar Banerjee's 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar' co-starring Arjun Kapoor. Apart from Uunchai, she will be next seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal' alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in the film.
