Sanya Malhotra on life after Dangal, landing Vishal Bhardwaj's Pataakha and taking things slow

Firstpost  

Nitish Tiwari’s blockbuster Dangal was centered more around Aamir Khan’s theatrics but it also showcased riveting performances of two newcomers that was noticed by all. “I was shooting in Delhi for Badhaai Ho and I remember my manager calling me and informing me that Vishal Bhardwaj is making a film on two sisters and wants me to audition for the role of one of the sisters. In the film we keep fighting with each other but had the off-screen chemistry not been there, it would have been problematic for Vishal Sir.” Pataakha is based on writer Charan Singh Pathik’s short story Do Bahnein and deals with the life of two warring sisters. I wanted to take things at a leisurely pace and was in no hurry.” She says that during the gap between Dangal and Pataakha she also had to field questions from people which ranged from ‘why have I not signed any film’ to ‘why I’m not getting any work,’ to which her only reply was: “good things take time.” Although this is Sanya’s second film, she is already thinking of going on a sabbatical.
