Known for her memorable performances in shows like Four More Shots Please!, TVF’s Tripling among others, actress Maanvi Gagroo is set to star alongside Patralekhaa in Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry, slated to release in theatres on May 29. Directed by Kartik Chaudhry, the film follows two women who embark on a rebellious motorcycle journey to Pondicherry leading them toward freedom, self-discovery, and healing.
Talking about what drew her to the story, Maanvi shared, “When I first read the script, it read like a light-hearted, easy book. The dialogues were funny and moving at the same time. It was a story that was simple, yet had moments that tug at your heart, and I think that’s what drew me to it.”
Opening up about her character Heer, Maanvi described her as someone fearless, instinctive, and unapologetically herself. “There’s a sense of abandon that Heer has. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go for it, completely oblivious to the consequences. She’s stubborn, jovial, and someone who sees the world through her rose-tinted glasses. Heer isn’t someone who thinks things through, yet she’s intelligent enough to know what’s serving her and what’s not. She’s confident and comfortable with who she is, and that’s what I love most about her,” Maanvi shared.
The film also subtly addresses the social expectations imposed on women at different stages of life. Sharing what she hopes audiences take away from the story, Maanvi said, “I hope it instills in women and girls a curiosity to travel, to explore the world themselves. I believe travelling expands us in ways very few things can, and most women live their entire lives without travelling alone. The sense of freedom and liberation, the luxury of making mistakes and rising above them, and the joy of finding yourself in the process are things I wish people take away from the film.”
Maanvi also spoke about sharing screen space with Patralekhaa and how their off-screen camaraderie naturally developed over time. “Of course, there’s an arc to their relationship. They don’t start off as friends but forge a relationship along the journey. That’s pretty much how we became friends as well. We knew each other socially and forged a lovely working relationship along the way,” she concluded.
The film is backed by Sony Music India and produced by Maghaa Creations (Dinesh Soni), Next Level Productions (Neeraj Ruhil and Subhav Sharma), and Opticus Inc. The ensemble cast also includes Arif Zakaria, Nishank Verma, and Shveta Salve in key supporting roles.
