Director Arati Kadav recently opened up about taking inspiration from real-life women while making Sanya Malhotra’s Mrs. The film also stars Kanwaljeet Singh, Nishant Dahiya and Siya Mahajan in pivotal roles.
Arati conducted in-depth conversations with women from diverse backgrounds—housewives, working professionals, mothers, and even young girls—to weave their real-life experiences into the script, as per a press release shared by the makers.
Speaking about this enriching process, Arati shared, "For me, storytelling has always been about truth—capturing the raw, unfiltered experiences of people. This isn’t just one woman’s story; it’s the lived reality of many women.”
She added, “I spoke to women balancing dreams and duties, navigating patriarchal norms, and redefining their identities. Their stories inspired me to craft a narrative that celebrates resilience and individuality. Sanya Malhotra brings this story to life with such grace and depth, and I’m confident it will resonate deeply with audiences everywhere."
The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja, and Harman Baweja. Sanya previously won the Best Actress award for the film at the New York Indian Film Festival and has also earned the nomination nod for the Best Actress category for IFFM 2024. It will be released soon on ZEE5.
