Sanya Malhotra to play lead

Ekta Kapoor and Guneet Monga have come together for a film titled Pagglait, starring Sanya Malhotra in the lead role. Directed by Umesh Bist, the film will be a light-hearted entertainer. Says Guneet, “Jab ladki log ko akal aati hai na toh log unhe ‘pagglait’ kehte hai.” The first schedule of ‘Pagglait’ has kicked off in Lucknow.

Shares Ekta Kapoor, “Guneet is one of the most relevant voices in Indian cinema today. When I heard the concept of the film, I knew we had to do this together.” 

Adds Guneet, “We are glad to bring a concept as quirky as Pagglait on screen with Sanya Malhotra playing the lead and a powerhouse like Balaji Telefilms backing it. Our film is a story of a young girl, as she discovers her identity amidst looming questions about love and belonging in the neo-modern small-town India.”
