And guess what, today, the actress has started the shoot of this action film.

Aditya Roy Kapur also took it to Instagram and announced that the actor is starting the shoot. While sharing the clapperboard of the film, he wrote, " And the journey begins!!

The film will be shot in India and abroad, with shooting expected to end by March next year. In an interview, the director of the film, Ahmed Khan said, `In her debut film, Sanjana handled her role with great maturity and in OM, the character what she plays is of a young girl who handles great responsibilities and she is perfectly suited for it.`

Talking about her character, Sanjana had earlier said, `Getting to delve into the action genre so early on, is something I view as an absolute honour and have immense gratitude for to my producers, Ahmed Khan, Zee Studios and my director Kapil for the potential they have seen in me being able to pull off such a unique part in our film. After exploring many scripts and possibilities for a while, Om felt just right since it was the spectrum jump I was looking for in terms of throwing myself into an entirely unchartered territory of a big commercial actioner being executed in a never-seen-before way that is going to present me with new and exciting challenges.`

This is the first time when Sanjana and Aditya Roy Kapur will be sharing screen space together and this will be Sanjana's second film as a leading lady. The film is slated to release next year.
