Sanya Malhotra Prepares for Most Challenging Role Yet in Sundar Poonam

Sanya Malhotra is gearing up for her most challenging role yet in the upcoming romantic thriller Sundar Poonam.

Backed by Abundantia Entertainment and announced at the ‘Prime Video Presents’ event, the film marks Sanya’s reunion with the studio after their successful collaboration on Shakuntala Devi.

Opening up about the film, Sanya highlighted the emotional depth and complexity of her role, calling it one of the most demanding performances of her career. “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.”

Sharing insights into the film’s vision, Vikram Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Abundantia Entertainment, emphasised the studio’s ongoing collaboration with Prime Video and their focus on distinctive storytelling. “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 will be shot across visually contrasting landscapes, ranging from the snow-capped terrains of Kashmir to the deserts of Rajasthan, adding scale and texture to its narrative. The film also features Aditya Rawal, who has recently gained attention for his performances in Daldal and Subedaar, both backed by Abundantia, along with Aditya Seal in a key role. Directed by Pulkit, the project is inspired by true incidents and is expected to blend romance with a gripping, suspense-driven narrative. Written by Jyotsana Nath and Pulkit, the film is produced by Kumar Taurani and Vikram Malhotra under Tips Films Limited and Abundantia Entertainment.

With a strong creative team and a performance-driven narrative at its core, Sundar Poonam is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing additions to the upcoming slate of streaming releases.
