Sanya Malhotra's 'Sunder Poonam' goes on floors
Mumbai, March 24
Sanya Malhotra has kick-started working on her new film titled 'Sunder Poonam'.
On Tuesday morning, Sanya took to Instagram and shared several pictures from the film's muhurat puja.
In the images, she could be seen posing with her 'Sunder Poonam' team including actors Aditya Rawal and Aditya Seal.
"#SundarPoonam It begins," Sanya captioned the post.
'Sunder Poonam' was officially announced at Prime Video's slate event in Mumbai on March 19.
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. With Sundar Poonam, we are further strengthening this partnership by bringing a gripping romantic thriller that features Sanya Malhotra, one of my favourite actors, in a never-seen-before avatar. 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." 'Sundar Poonam' is being directed by Pulkit.

"Inspired by chilling true events" has me intrigued. Hope they handle the subject with the sensitivity it deserves. Pulkit is a good director, and Sanya always delivers. Fingers crossed!
Another film going straight to OTT? I miss the big screen experience for such promising projects. But I guess that's the trend now. Still, day one watch on Prime Video for sure.
The muhurat puja pictures look lovely. It's nice to see the traditional ceremony before starting work. Wishing the team lots of success. The cast with Aditya Rawal and Aditya Seal looks interesting too.
Abundantia and Prime Video have given us some great content. Hoping this continues the streak. Sanya saying it's her most challenging role is a big claim - she's set the bar high for herself!
With respect, I hope the "chilling true events" are not just used for sensationalism. We've seen some films exploit real tragedies. I trust this team more than most, but it's a concern. The title 'Sunder Poonam' is beautiful though.
