Dangal girl Sanya Malhotra may have been off the big screen for last two years, but the actress is now back in action. The pretty lady has been shooting continuously this year and has an array of projects in her kitty. 

A source close to the actress reveals, “Sanya has been super busy shooting for three projects back to back switching between 1 role to another. Two of her movies are releasing this year itself and both are very distinctive roles wherein the audiences will see her changing and getting into the skin of characters. She's looking forward to presenting both the characters on big screen and also starting promotions for them.”  

She transformed into a Pataakha for Vishal Bhardwaj’s next where she will be seen playing the role of a villager and the story revolves around life of two sisters before and after marriage. Sanya is said to have gained 10-12 kgs for her role to make it look authentic. Touted to be a comedy-drama, the film will focus on the true nature of sisters’ relationship after they get married. Pataakha will release on 28 September. 

The actress will be seeing playing a completely different kind of role in Badhaai Ho, a coming-of-age story, that also stars Ayushmann Khurrana. Both the actors began working on the script and workshop for Badhaai Ho earlier in January. The film will release on Dussehra - 19 Oct 2018.

Talking about the film and its preparations, Sanya told Indian Express, "I am really happy to be an actor first. Whenever anything interesting comes up, I want to try it out and play parts that excite me creatively, it won't be anything rigorous. Thankfully, I am not wrestling in this one."
