Dangal actor
Sanya Malhotra is
super excited
about the two
new projects that
she has bagged
Photograph
starring
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui and
Ayushmann
Khurrana starrer
Badhai Ho.
The actor said she
feels blessed to
be getting the
opportunity to
share the screen
space with such stellar actors, "I am
grateful that I am working with such
wonderful actors. It has completely
changed my life.
While she is yet to begin the journey of
Badhai Ho with Ayushmann, she has
wrapped up the shooting of Nawazuddin
starrer Photograph. At an event in Delhi,
Sanya exclusively spoke to
indianexpress.com and shared her
experience of working with the Monsoon
Shootout actor, "I am so lucky that I am
getting to work with an actor like
Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Not only him but
Ritesh Batra, the director too. After Dangal,
a lot of scripts came my way but this one
just touched me. I was like I have to do
this'. It was really exciting. And when I got
to know Nawaz is a part of it, I got even
more excited because working with him is
a dream come true.
The film, which is being directed by Ritesh
Batra of The Lunchbox fame will see
Nawazuddin playing a photographer while
Sanya's character is still under wraps.
Sanya's third feature film Badhaai Ho is a
coming-of-age story. The film follows the
impact of a certain news on a family and
how the members deal with it in their own
way. It will be directed by Amit Sharma,
who earlier directed Arjun Kapoor and
Sonakshi Sinha starrer Tevar in 2015.
Starring opposite Ayushmann Khurrana,
Sanya will start filming for this one in
January 2018.
The actor has already shared screen space
with Aparshakti Khurrana in Dangal.
"Aparshakti is a brother to me, cannot say
the same thing for Ayushmann (giggles).
We are close. The Khurrana brothers are
very energetic, happy, positive and I am
grateful that I'm working with such
wonderful actors.

Sanya was present at the Adidas event
where she spoke about her #NeverDone
moment so far. "Never done wrestling
before Dangal. We were auditioning for
Dangal, after three weeks of acting
workshop, we were told we would have to
wrestle now. I remember, after first day of
weight training programme, we were dead.
That is the time we realised that it is not
something we have ever done before. After
that first day of our audition, we felt every
muscle in our body, it was paining, sore
and bad, recalls Sanya.
On having any assumptions about
Bollywood before entering movies? "I did
not have any assumptions about Bollywood.
I was just fascinated with the whole
Bollywood thing. I was always very excited
about the industry, film, music and dance.
So, whatever I had thought about the
industry, after Dangal the kind of response
we got, I felt overwhelmed. Industry
welcomed us with open arms.
