Almost two years after she made her Bollywood debut with Dangal (2016), Sanya Malhotra is back on screen with Vishal Bhardwaj's Pataakha. Considering she forayed into movies with Fatima Sana Shaikh, comparison between the two is inevitable.

While her Dangal co-star boasts of a big ticket film - Thugs Of Hindostan - as her second release, Malhotra says she is happy to take it slow. "I have never been insecure. It was a conscious choice to go slow on work," says Malhotra, adding that her friendship with Shaikh runs too deep to be affected by such comparisons. "I am happy for Fatima; the film is looking fabulous."
