Kriti Sanon will foray into film production with her banner Blue Butterfly Films, the actress announced through an Instagram post on Tuesday.

Sharing a short clip on the social media platform, the 32-year-old actress cited her passion for filmmaking as the reason behind the launch of her own production banner. “I’ve been in this magical industry living my dreams for 9 years. I’ve taken baby steps, learnt, evolved & grown into the actor I am today! I absolutely lovvvee every bit and aspect of film-making,” she wrote.

“And now, it's time to do more, to be more, to learn more, to tell more stories that touch my heart and hopefully yours too. Here’s to constantly evolving and finding the most beautiful version of yourself,” she added.

The actress will be joined by her younger sister Nupur Sanon as the co-founder of the production house.

Several celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Sobhita Dhulipala and Riteish Deshmukh, congratulated Kriti on her new career step. “Congratulations kriti ❤,” Varun Dhawan wrote. “Congratulations my dear friend!!! More power to you,” Riteish Deshmukh commented.

Some fans pointed out how the name of the production house could be Kriti’s dedication to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was known for using the blue butterfly emoticon on Instagram.

The actress was recently seen in Om Raut's Adipurush in which she played Janaki. The Ramayana adaptation also starred Prabhas as Raghav, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, Sunny Singh as Lakshman and Devdutta Nage as Bajrang.

Kriti will be next seen in The Crew alongside Kareena Kapoor and Tabu. She will also feature in a yet-to-be-titled film with Shahid Kapoor.
