After staring off as Aamir Khan’s younger daughter in Dangal, Sanya Malhotra slowly started playing lead characters in films like Pagglait, Meenakshi Sundareshwar and the recently released Netflix movie Kathal. Directed by Yashowardhan Mishra, the film follows an intentionally absurd storyline of a young female cop Mahima Basor, played by Sanya, trying to find the missing prized jackfruits of a local politician in order to prove herself.
Sanya Malhotra on life after Kathal, “Every day on social media I’m tagged for such bizarre stories happening around us”
The makers have claimed that people have started tagging Sanya in absurd news that have been taking place in the country in recent times since it reminds them of Kathal’s storyline.
Speaking about the same, Sanya said in a statement, “I’ve been overwhelmed with the love and response to Kathal. Every day on social media I’m tagged for such bizarre stories happening around us. This is such a fitting social commentary and it’s fascinating to see our fiction being reflected so relevantly in times now. It’s so absurd, and every time someone says, ‘This should have been a movie’, now it is! Kathal is on Netflix. Made by some really special people.”
Kathal is the directorial debut for Yashowardhan Mishra. “Kathal is a colourful bouquet of the bizarre that we see all around us nowadays,” he said. “We wanted to make a sharp social satire, which gently nudges the audiences towards critical thinking about the world we live in. It’s been really rewarding seeing the response and love for this quirky film of ours, and it’s been an honour being able to tell this peculiar story based on true-ish events alongside Sikhya Entertainment, Balaji Telefilms and a stellar cast including Sanya Malhotra, Anant V Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Raghubir Yadav, Vijay Raaz and more.”
Sanya’s Pagglait was also produced by Guneet Monga Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor. The trio has returned with Kathal. Monga added, “When Yashowardhan Mishra and Ashok Mishra approached us with the idea of Kathal, Achin (Jain) and I instantly knew this was a project Sikhya Entertainment could voice and lead. We made Kathal with the hope of speaking about the absurdity of our reality, and with the headlines, we’re seeing now. It’s all the more validating that sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.”
