EXCLUSIVE: Radhika Madan is an ambitious girl in first look of National Award-winning filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria's Sanaa

Sudhanshu Saria commences the shoot of Sanaa with his star cast comprising Radhika Madan, Shikha Talsania, and Sohum Shah. The filmmaker drops a gripping video that announces the start of the film’s schedule in Mumbai. The video captures spectators as they blurt out their judgemental notions about the female-fronted film's theme on set. In response, the filmmaker and the lead actress fix them in a stare with a silence that says the film will speak for itself. After dropping a series of fun color-coordinated pictures, team Sanaa has scaled up the anticipation around the Radhika Madan starrer with a video that speaks volumes without revealing much.

The National Award-winning director, who is donning multiple hats as producer, director, and writer for the film, is one of India’s most prominent filmmakers with a promising slate of high-concept projects set up at the country’s top platforms and studios. How he shapes the female-led narrative in Sanaa remains to be seen. Sudhanshu Saria says, "Sanaa is a manifestation of all the kindness, insight, and creative energy I’ve encountered since the moment I first had the instinct to tackle this issue. We're all very conscious of the film’s importance to our society right now and are sparing no effort to tell this story in the most ambitious and compelling way.."

Radhika Madan says, "It feels like a new chapter of my life has begun. I'm excited and prepared to bring Sanaa to life in a nuanced and complex way and collaborating with Sudhanshu only doubles that thrill for me."

Produced by Four Line Entertainment, directed and written by Sudhanshu Saria, and starring Radhika Madan, Sanaa is now filming.

Meanwhile, Radhika Madan will star in the Netflix film Monica, O My Darling, where she reunites with Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota director Vasan Bala and film Kuttey as she reunites with Vishal Bhardwaj.

Saria was recently announced as the director of a high octane female-led espionage, Ulajh, with Junglee Pictures. He is also writing, co-directing, and show-running Masoom, a series for Amazon Prime, and he is co-producing and writing Delhi Crime Season 3 for Netflix.
