Sana is all set for challenging roles

Sana, who pairs up with Unni Mukundan in her next, is awaiting the release of Aashiq Abu’s upcoming film
Sana Althaf had played the demure traditional girl in both her films — Vikramadithyan and Mariyam Mukku. The young actress says she is happy that she finally gets to don a different role in her next film, to be directed by Philips and the Monkey Pen fame Shanil Muhammed.
“I play a very bold and modern girl in Shanil’s next. The character is diametrically opposite to Salomi from Mariyam Mukku. The film has Asif Ali and Unni Mukundan in the lead and I’m cast opposite Unni Mukundan. The film will go on floors by December,” says Sana about her second film in a lead role.
Though Sana was about to pair with Unni Mukundan in another film, Ithihasa-fame Binu’s Style, she had to back out of the project due to date issues. Meanwhile, another movie of her’s is up for release. “I have a small role in Aashiq Abu’s Rani Padmini. I’m there in only a small scene, where everyone goes trekking in Himachal Pradesh. But since my father is the film’s producer, I was with the team at the location for a whole month. If not for him, I would have never gone to all those places and would have been too lazy for all those adventures.”
She explains, “The most amazing part was trekking. It was both difficult and exciting. We trekked our way to some of the villages and interacted with the locals as well. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see any snow as the shoot was in summer. The roads to the villages and the trekking routes get sealed off during the winters and it wouldn’t have been possible to shoot. My only regret is coming back from the shoots so soon because of my exams. And I never got to try paragliding. I had to stay put on the ground and was left to wave Manju chechi and Rima chechi goodbye when they went paragliding,” Sana laughs.
