Sanya Malhotra to team up with Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga

Last seen in the Ritesh Batra-directed Photograph (2019), actress Sanya Malhotra has joined forces with renowned producer Guneet Monga, who shot to international fame after producing Oscar-winning short documentary Period. End of Sentence.

Confirming the development, Monga told a newswire that it will be a coming-of-age story. "We are doing a Hindi film. It's a film with Sanya Malhotra. It's a coming-of-age story of a young girl in a small town."


While Monga is gearing up to begin work on the untitled film, Sanya Malhotra is presently busy broadening her horizons by venturing into regional cinema. The talented actress, who started out with Aamir Khan’s much-acclaimed Dangal (2016), has just signed a Tamil film called Soorarai Pottru, co-starring superstar Suriya.

More details on her project with Guneet Monga are awaited.
