Close on the heels of wrapping up HIT with Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra took fans by surprise with the announcement of reuniting with her Dangal co-star, Fatime Sana Shaikh. Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur will see the duo join hands with Vicky Kaushal for the film based on Sam Manekshaw, the Chief of Army staff who was applauded for his heroic acts during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
Malhotra, who plays the protagonist’s wife, Silloo Bode, reveals that she met Gulzar only at the time of the announcement. “The character of Silloo spoke to me on many levels. The film is special because I am going to be working with Meghana. It’s a dream come true,” she says.
