The trailer of Aditya Dhar's upcoming film Dhurandhar has generated tremendous excitement, not just for its high-stakes espionage plot, but also because of the focus on the young actor who had already gathered acclaim within the industry.
With big names such as Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan and Arjun Rampal in the film, much of the talk now revolves around the talented Sara Arjun.
Since early childhood, Sara Arjun has been a known face to Indian audiences. With her calm screen presence and an unexpected emotional depth for one so young, she has steadily grown into one of the most promising young actors working today.
Born on June 18, 2005, Sara is 20 years old and already carries a filmography many older actors would envy.
She is studying at Isha School and says her program includes time spent in rural communities. The demands of her burgeoning career notwithstanding, she keeps her academics sound and plans her shoots around vacations.
Her father Raj Arjun is a popular actor and has appeared in some of the well-known Hindi, Tamil, Telugu & Malayalam cinema works. His performances in Secret Superstar, Thalaivi & Dear Comrade earned him wide appreciation.
Her mother, Sanya Arjun, is a dance teacher and thus has played an important part in shaping Sara's discipline and creative grounding.
Suhaan Arjun, Sara's younger brother, has also ventured into acting with short films, proving that talent runs in the family.
Sara started working when she was just 18 months old after being discovered in a mall for her first commercial. She went on to do almost a hundred commercials before she turned six.
Her breakthrough happened in 2011 with Deiva Thirumagal, playing Nila, for which she received unanimous accolades. Soon, she built a steady footprint across multiple industries.
Her major films include Ek Thi Daayan, Saivam, Jazbaa, Ann Maria Kalippilaanu, Ponniyin Selvan I & II, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Ajeeb Daastaans and The Song of Scorpions.

Ranveer himself hailed her as a prodigy, comparing her early genius to Dakota Fanning. The intensity of the trailer is matched by their chemistry on screen, which positions Sara as one of the film's strongest highlights.
