With Dhurandhar Marking Her Grand Arrival, Sara Arjun Steps Into The Spotlight Like Never Before In Femina’s April–May Issue
Having spent nearly two decades in front of the camera, Sara Arjun emerges as a force to watch in Femina’s April–May issue, stepping into a space that feels both earned and inevitable. From being one of Indian cinema’s most memorable child actors to starring opposite Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar, one of the biggest films of recent times, Sara’s journey is a testament to persistence, craft, and evolution.
Helmed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is a sprawling espionage epic that has captured attention for its scale and storytelling. Against this larger-than-life backdrop, Sara’s performance as Yalina Jamali stands out for its emotional depth and restraint.
Speaking about how she approaches emotions in her performances, Sara shares, “If I have to show that I care, I’ve experienced the basic core of what care means to me. I just need to amplify it to the degree Yalina would feel it.”
Looking back at her journey as a child actor, she says, “I’ve had a lot of fun doing all the performances that I’ve done. I revisited Deiva Thirumagal and I’m proud and quite happy with how I acted in it, considering I was only five!”
On how she has always maintained emotional distance from her roles, she adds, “Even as a child, once I was through with a project, I would put effort into trying to forget about it, or at least not hold on to the emotions associated with it, and just move on.”
Crediting her father for shaping her perspective towards acting, Sara shares, “I cannot imagine reaching anywhere without my father’s presence. He’s held my hand throughout. He considers acting a sacred art. The kind of value he has for it has been passed down to me.”
Talking about her experience working with Ranveer Singh, she says, “Nobody will ever top Ranveer Singh as a co-actor. He really thinks it’s not his film; it’s everybody’s film… And he never let his seniority come off as superiority. It is just support.”
As Dhurandhar continues to make waves globally, Sara Arjun emerges as a talent to watch, bringing together years of experience with a fresh, grounded perspective.
