Sanya Malhotra and Vidya Balan come together for a biopic?

Sanya Malhotra, who is riding high on the rip-roaring success of her last release Badhaai Ho (2018), has added yet another exciting project to her kitty.

According to reports, the Dangal (2016) star has bagged a new film which will give her an opportunity to team up with National Film Award-winning actress Vidya Balan.


After playing Telugu actor-politician Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao’s wife in the NTR biopic, Vidya will next be seen stepping into the shoes of renowned mathematician Shakuntala Devi in her biopic.

Sanya Malhotra will reportedly play Balan’s daughter in the film. “Sanya has liked the story and being a huge Vidya fan is keen to share the screen with her, but she has yet to sign on the dotted line. The film will roll this year,” informs a source close to the development.

The untitled film will be helmed by Anu Menon, whose web-show Four More Shots Please is busy creating ripples on Amazon Prime Video.

Ronnie Screwvala is bankrolling the project under his production house RSVP.

More details are awaited.
