New Delhi:
Dangal actress Sanya Malhotra shared a picture from the sets of her forthcoming film Pataakha. In the picture, Sanya can be seen posing in the middle of a paddy field, dressed in the sort of attire typically worn by village women. Sanya revealed the release date of the film (September 28) in the caption. While the picture garnered a lot of appreciation from fans, the major highlight of the post was a comment by Sanya's Dangal co-star Fatima Sana Shaikh, who commented "Kitni cute" on Sanya's picture. The comments section was flooded with many interesting comments - while some fans thought that Sanya looked extremely pretty in the earthy look, many others thought she resembled Kangana Ranaut. Zaira Wasim also used multiple heart emoticons, to express her love for the picture.

Pataakha is based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story titled Do Behnein. The comedy-drama revolves around the lives of two feuding sisters who, realise the true nature of their relationship when they are separated after marriage. The film also features Radhika Madan and comedian Sunil Grover in pivotal roles.
The film was earlier titled Chhuriyaan. However, the film's director Vishal Bhardwaj revealed in an interview with Mumbai Mirror that he changed the name to Pataakha because he did not want audiences to confuse it with Chhodiyaan or Chhoriyaan. "Pataakha goes with the spirit of the film, which is like a firecracker and I liked the sound too," said Vishal Bhardwaj.
The 25-year-old actress, who has undergone a major body transformation for her character in Pataakha, in an interview earlier this year, told news agency IANS: "This is a very interesting part of my job as an actress where I am going through a certain physical transformation with films that I am doing."
Sanya made her Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan's Dangal, where she played the role of wrestling champion Babita Kumari Phogat.
