About her journey

Shanaya has previously worked as an assistant director on the film Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, which starred Janhvi Kapoor in the lead role. Shanaya is also slated to star in Vrusabha, which will mark her acting debut.

The Telugu-Malayalam film will feature actor Mohanlal in the lead role. Salma Agha’s daughter Zahrah S Khan as well as Roshann Meka will also be seen in the film. Though a bilingual film, Vrushabha will also release in Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. It has been produced by AVS Studios, First Step Movies, and Balaji Telefilms. It is slated to release on October 16.

Shanaya was initially set to make her acting debut in Bollywood with Karan Johar’s Bedhadak, in which she was supposed to be essaying the role of Nimrit. The film also had Lakshya and Gurfateh Pirzada in lead roles. However, no update on the shoot of the film has been made since last year.
