Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, April 18 (NationPress) Actress Sanya Malhotra has showered accolades on actress-turned-producer Patralekhaa, describing her as an "incredible producer" who infused significant creative flair into their recent project, Toaster.
In an exclusive interview with IANS, Sanya stated, "Patralekhaa is truly an exceptional producer. The reason? She is also an exceptional actor."
Sanya elaborated on how the debut producer was instrumental in helping her navigate the nuances of her character in the film.
"When we were discovering Shilpa, she was immensely supportive. There were moments when I was uncertain about the character's appearance, and she provided invaluable guidance. The saree I wore in a particular scene was her suggestion, including its color and design."
She continued, "I am grateful to have had her support. At times, when you’re trying to pin down a character's look, her experience as an actor made a significant difference in that process."
Delving deeper into her project choices, Sanya expressed what attracted her to Toaster.
The actress noted that she sought to delve into something light-hearted and entertaining, which Toaster perfectly offered at the right moment.
"I chose Toaster because it features a wonderfully fun script. As an actor, I was eager to engage in a project that was enjoyable. Moreover, I was excited to collaborate with Rajkummar Rao. Although we worked on two previous films, I didn’t share scenes with him in Ludo nor did we have a strong connection in Hit.
She added, "When he invited me to be part of Toaster, I instantly agreed. I knew that if he was involved, it was bound to be a quality production. I enjoy watching films like Toaster as an audience member, and I was keen to participate in a comedic project."
"With Raj's involvement, I was confident that they would assemble a talented cast. Working with him was a delightful experience. These are the thoughts that crossed my mind when I was approached for the film," she concluded.
Toaster, which premiered on OTT platforms on April 15, has garnered positive reviews.
The film features Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Archana Puran Singh, and others, and is directed by Viveck Daschaudhary while being produced by the debutant producer Patralekhaa.
