Sanya
Malhotra
had
earlier
expressed
her
desire
to
play
noted
writer-poet
Amrita
Pritam
on
the
silver
screen
in
one
of
her
interviews.
Recently
when
the
actress
made
an
appearance
at
the
red
carpet
of
Filmfare
OTT
Awards
2021,
she
was
asked
if
she
is
vouching
for
that
opportunity
to
essay
the
noted
personality
in
reel.
To
this,
Sanya
replied
that
it
would
an
honour
to
play
Amrita
on
screen
and
added
that
she
has
not
been
offered
any
such
role
yet.
ETimes
quoted
her
as
saying,
"I
think
it
will
be
an
honour
to
play
Amrita
onscreen.
I
have
not
been
offered
any
such
role
but,
I
am
hoping
to
manifest
it."
On
being
told
that
there
are
reports
about
Shah
Rukh
Khan
playing
the
lead
in
Sahir
Ludhianvi
biopic
and
if
it
would
be
an
exciting
prospect
for
her,
Sanya
responded
by
saying,
"What?
I
would
just
say
that
pray
and
help
me
manifest
that,
everyone!"
Meanwhile,
Sanya
has
been
receiving
appreciation
from
the
critics
and
the
audience
for
her
performance
in
her
last
film
Meenakshi
Sundareshwar
which
released
on
Netflix.
She
was
cast
opposite
Abhimanyu
Dassani
and
the
film
revolves
around
two
newlyweds
who
are
forced
to
live
apart
owing
to
an
unique
job
prospect
and
the
hassles
which
arise
in
their
long-distance
marriage.
Speaking
about
the
positive
reactions,
Sanya
added,
"I
am
extremely
happy
and
grateful.
Also,
I
was
nominated
for
the
best
actor
for
'Pagglait'
at
Filmfare
OTT
Awards
2021
which
I
lost
to
Konkona
Sen
Sharma.
But
it's
such
an
honour
to
be
nominated
alongside
such
great
actors,
and
I
just
feel
so
grateful
to
be
at
the
Filmfare
OTT
Awards."
Workwise,
Sanya
Malhotra
will
next
be
seen
in
Rajkummar
Rao-starrer
HIT:
The
First
Case.
