I love how she's doing this from LA but keeping her Bollywood roots. It's inspiring to see Indian actors take charge of their own stories rather than waiting for offers. Hope the film does well! ✨
Nice to see someone transitioning from acting to filmmaking. The proof of concept approach is smart - hope she gets the funding she needs. It's a tough industry but passion like this can go a long way.
Honestly, it's great she's pursuing her passion, but I hope she doesn't abandon acting completely. She was so good in Student of the Year! That said, mad respect for building something from scratch beyond Bollywood.
The grind is real! I work in film production and I know what it takes just to get that first draft. Salute to Sana for making the leap. The part about "how many times I've had to start over" really hits home. 💪
