Mumbai, Dec 7 (Ians) Filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria’s ‘Sanaa’ has revealed that the film is inspired by the #MeToo realities. Taking inspiration from the #MeToo movement of 2018, the filmmaker made ‘Sanaa’ with a storyline centred on a woman in Mumbai confronting her past, while highlighting the inequality and abuse that women face in their everyday lives.
Sudhanshu said: “It all began with wanting to talk about how men and women are treated so differently in our society, especially women dealing with the label of being perfect. I believe it was also the #MeToo movement that truly pushed me to make this film.”
“Hearing stories of survivors made me realise how men and women have vastly different experiences, even though they grow up and live in the same environment and under similar circumstances.”
Until now, ‘Sanaa’ has won hearts and received a standing ovation at The Shanghai International Film Festival (Siff), Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival,...

Actor Nikhil Khurana, who will be making his film debut with Sanaa, says that this film will always be special for him. He said that his role is something that he has based totally on the emotion of love.
“Sanaa is my first film, and it’s very special to me. I loved working on Sana. I think what is so special about it is the fact that I’ve based this character on this one word, which is love. So, anything that the character does or chooses in his life is out of love,” Nikhil said.
