Sanya Malhotra has kick-started working on her new film titled 'Sundar Poonam'.

Speaking of the project, Sanya, in a press note, stated, "Sundar Poonam is an incredibly exciting film for me as it brings me face-to-face with one of the most challenging roles I've taken on so far. It pushes me into an unexplored space as an actor. The character is layered, intense, and emotionally demanding, which instantly drew me in. Collaborating with Vikram and Abundantia Entertainment has always been incredibly fulfilling, and after Shakuntala Devi, I'm excited to begin a new chapter with them and Prime Video. Pulkit is an exceptionally talented director, and his sensitivity towards storytelling adds so much depth to the narrative. I'm looking forward to starting this journey and sharing a new side of myself with the audience." Speaking about the project, Vikram Malhotra, Founder & CEO, Abundantia Entertainment, said: "Our partnership with Prime Video has consistently enabled us to tell stories that are distinctive, disruptive, and resonate with a wide audience.

Inspired by chilling true events, the story is both compelling and entertaining, and I am excited to collaborate with Pulkit, whose work I have deeply admired, to bring this brilliant story to life."

Good to see more female-led thrillers coming to OTT. Sanya is a fantastic actor, but I hope the "chilling true events" are handled with sensitivity and not just for shock value. The team behind it seems solid.

Muhurat puja pictures look great! Wishing the entire team all the best. Sanya's dedication is always visible. Hope this film gets a proper theatrical release too and not just OTT.

Interesting title - 'Sundar Poonam' (Beautiful Full Moon). Wondering what the metaphor is. Aditya Rawal is a good choice too. Prime Video is really investing in diverse Indian content. More power to them!

As someone who enjoys Indian cinema, it's great to see actors like Sanya pushing boundaries. The collaboration with Abundantia Entertainment has produced good work before. Looking forward to the trailer.

Respectfully, I hope the film's marketing doesn't rely too heavily on the "true events" tag. Sometimes it feels exploitative. That said, Sanya's track record makes me want to give it a chance. Fingers crossed!
