The upcoming film ‘Sanaa’, which stars Radhika Madan, Soham Shah of ‘Tumbbad’ fame, Shikha Talsania, and Pooja Bhatt, has been selected for the official competition at the 23rd New York Indian Film Festival set to be held from May 11 to 14.
This is North America’s oldest and most prestigious film festival showcasing cinema from India and the Indian diaspora. The festival celebrates cinema from the global Indian community.
The film, directed by National Award-winning director Sudhanshu Saria, tells the story of a 28-year-old woman, played by Radhika Madan, who is fighting an internal battle caused by unresolved trauma.
Director Sudhanshu Saria said: “It is a great honour to have ‘Sanaa’ selected for the official competition at the New York Indian Film Festival. This festival has been a longstanding champion of independent cinema from the Indian Diaspora, and we are thrilled to have our film showcased alongside such diverse and compelling works. I am excited to attend the festival and engage with fellow filmmakers and audiences.”
Earlier, the film was screened at the 26th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and the 38th Santa Barbara International Film Festival. It is also set to be a part of the 25th UK Asia Film Festival as an Opening Film, scheduled to take place from May 4 to May 13, 2023.
For the unversed, Radhika did six projects last year, which are slated to release this year. Hopping on to her next, the ‘Angrezi Medium’ actor began shooting for her next earlier this year. Beginning the next schedule of her film, Radhika Madan reached her hometown Delhi and expressed her happiness about shooting in her city via an Instagram story. “9 years in the industry and this is the FIRST time I’m shooting in MY CITY! Dilli”, wrote Radhika.
Filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria’s directorial ‘Sanaa’ starring the actress has locked its North American premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and will be the only Indian film to be screened at the event.
