Pooja Bhatt has been cast in a pivotal role in Radhika Madan’s social drama “Sanaa.” Sudhanshu Saria, of “Loev” fame, wrote and directed the film.

Sanaa, according to the official description, recounts the narrative of a headstrong and ambitious girl (Madan) who is fighting an internal war caused by unhealed trauma.

Bhatt, who returned to acting last year with the programme “Bombay Begums,” said she is pleased to be a part of a film like “Sanaa,” which examines the lives of women in a genuine way.

“‘Sanaa’ is a deeply moving and astonishingly perceptive film that captures society’s judgments around women in a way that is going to jolt a lot of people out of their preconceived notions and comfort zone.

“I am thrilled and honoured that Sudhanshu made me a part of this truly important film-one that examines the lives of women as we actually live it and not in a way the world thinks or wishes that we do,” Bhatt said in a statement.

Bhatt’s character, according to Saria, is tailor-made for her.

“Pooja thoroughly fits the bill for this tailor-made role in ‘Sanaa’. I’m sure the legacy she carries as an actor and as the voice of women will add dimensions to the part she will be seen playing in the film. I’m thrilled that she has boarded this journey with all of us at Four Line Entertainment,” he said.

Madan began filming for the film in Mumbai last month.

Sohum Shah and Shikha Talsania also star in ‘Sanaa.’
