Dangal Girl Sanya Malhotra will be essaying the role of Anupama Banerji on the big screen in her upcoming movie 'Shakuntala Devi' alongside Vidya Balan. Ever since her role came out, it was appreciated and loved by netizens across and even by fellow colleagues of the industry on how she has transformed herself for the character.

She's essaying the role of a real-life character and replicating the same on screen was one of the toughest transformations for the actor to have undergone. Ever since the look came out, Sanya has been flooded with compliments. She has been approached by many brands related to beauty, hair oil, etc considering her look from the movie but she refused to do so as she doesn't want to overexpose the character before the release of the movie. She wants the excitement to be intact to give a complete surprise to the audiences and hence she's been turning all of them down.

Sanya exudes a certain level of self-worth and confidence. Given her choice of films and the varied characters she has played so far, the actress is sure to take everyone by storm with this one (Shakuntala Devi).

On the work front, she will also be seen in Anurag Basu's untitled next opposite Aditya Roy Kapur. Both films are slated to release early next year. The actress also recently announced her upcoming project 'Pagglait' with Guneet Monga & Ekta Kapoor and has been shooting for the same in Lucknow.
