The only common identifier among the films on Kathal actor Malhotra’s resume is that they are all different; actor says she’s charmed by uniqueness

Sanya Malhotra may well be considered the poster-girl for all things unconventional — From a young Haryanvi girl who becomes India’s wrestling champion in her debut film Dangal, to a bickering sister in Pataakha, and a widow who makes peace with her fate in Pagglait, the actor hasn’t hesitated to give her nod to films that her contemporaries may keep an arm’s length from. Her latest offering, Kathal, is another step in the same direction.
“I enjoy plots that are different. I would love to be part of pot-boilers, but the charm of the films that I have worked on is unparalleled,” says the actor who plays a police inspector leading an investigation into missing jackfruits in the film. Amusing though the plotline may initially seem, the satire that dropped on Netflix last week deftly discusses matters relating to gender and caste under the theme’s guise.
