Excited about it, Sanya in a statement said, “It is a proud moment for me that Mrs has been chosen as the closing film for NYIFF. Playing Richa, a character grappling with the delicate balance between tradition and ambition, was an immense honour and responsibility, given that it embodies the struggles of so many Indian women. Our endeavour to breathe life into this story has been incredibly rewarding and I am eagerly awaiting to share it with the world.”

I am thankful to our producers Harman Baweja, Baweja Studios, and Jio Studios who have supported the journey of this film and made this day possible.”
