Sanya's team members, with Aamir Khan and Fatima Sana Shaikh leading the way, attended a special screening of Pataakha, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, in Mumbai on Thursday. Apart from Aamir and Fatima, actors Sakshi Tanwar (Sanya and Fatima's onscreen mom), Zaira Wasim (who played young Geeta Phogat) and Aparshakti Khurana attended the screening. Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari substituted for her husband Nitesh Tiwari, the director of Dangal. Aamir, who had complimented Sanya in the trailer of Pataakha, seemed impressed by her work in the new film.
Outside the theatre, Aamir Khan posed with Sanya and gave a gleeful thumb-up to the paparazzi. The actor attended the screening without his wife Kiran Rao, who is frequently spotted with the Dangal gang.
