Radhikka Madan's long-delayed 'Sanaa' to release this year?
What's the story
Director Sudhanshu Saria's film Sanaa, starring Radhikka Madan, might finally be ready for its India release.

Saria emphasized that he isn't rushing the release of Sanaa. He told Mid-Day, "I don't want to be first. I don't want to be fast. I want to get it right." "So, we are working hard to find the perfect partner to get Sanaa to the screen. I want to make sure it's presented to the audience in the correct way."
Film's journey
It's a relevant film, says Saria
Saria is optimistic about the release of Sanaa, which delves into mental health issues. He said, "It's a relevant film, and we have screened it a handful of times in countries around the world. We are guarding the message." "We know there is a certain kind of film that the industry believes people want to see. Navigating that with a sensitive film is its own journey."
