Garnering massive acclaim from both critics and audiences for its compelling storyline and breakthrough performances, National Award-winning director Sudhanshu Saria’s masterpiece Sanaa has been making waves at various film festivals in India and abroad. While Sanaa has already earned itself a vast fan-base globally, actor Sukant Goel, known for his role in Netflix’s web show Kaala Paani, amongst others, has now expressed his desire to have starred in the film!

He shared, “There’s a friend of mine, director Sudhanshu Saria, who sent me the script of Sanaa. Coincidentally, he was my senior in school and after many years we met, and he suggested we should work together. He mentioned that it was not a role he would typically cast me for, but urged me to try it out. He insisted I read the script. Then, one day, he met me, and we did a 13-minute take in the office itself. It was a lovely experience. The character was originally supposed to play the guitar, but I insisted on playing the harmonium. A couple of days later, Sudhanshu informed that the character would play the harmonium. However, he also said that after my audition, he realised it should be a younger guy.”

He added, “After that, I have been messaging him about the film. I always ask him how it’s going, if it’s good and request to see it. I am still thinking about it, so, clearly, I am affected by it.”
