After Vidya Balan, the makers of Shakuntala Devi have now unveiled Sanya Malhotra’s look from the film. Sanya Malhotra, who was last seen in Badhaai Ho has been ruling the silver screen ever since she made her debut with Fatima Sana Shaikh and Aamir Khan in Dangal. A few days back, Sanya was introduced as Vidya Balan’s reel-life daughter Anupama Banerji and now the makers reveal her look in the new poster.
Giving a sneak-peek of her look on social media, Sanya Malhotra wrote, “Wait, don’t judge a book by its cover Stay tuned for what’s behind it- tomorrow! #AnupmaBanerji #ShakuntalaDevi @balanvidya @sonypicsprodns @directormenon @ivikramix @sneharajani_ @abundantiaent”. The new poster sees an unrecognizable Sanya hiding her face behind a book. With straight hair Sanya Malhotra is all smiles for the camera.
