Mandy Takhar, a prominent figure in Punjabi cinema, has made a significant impact with her performances in films like Sardaar Ji, Rabb Da Radio, Saak, and Yes I Am Student. As an accomplished actor, director, and producer, she eagerly anticipates her next project, ‘Haaye Ni Meri Motto.’ This fictional drama, which addresses the issue of body shaming, has already generated considerable excitement. To authentically portray her role, Mandy underwent a remarkable transformation, gaining 45 kg.
In a recent exclusive interview, Mandy shared her insights on the evolving landscape of regional and Hindi cinema. She highlighted the growing success of regional films at the box office, which now rivals that of Hindi cinema. This shift has provided a platform for numerous artists, including Punjabi talents, to gain wider recognition. Mandy expressed her optimism about the future of Punjabi cinema, stating, “While Bollywood has larger budgets and a broader audience, Punjabi cinema is gradually expanding its reach. It’s a process, but seeing artists like Diljit Dosanjh, Shehnaz Gill, Guru Randhawa, and Sargun Mehta make their mark globally is incredibly inspiring for us in the regional film industry.”
‘Haaye Ni Meri Motto’ is particularly important to Mandy as it sheds light on the issue of body shaming. She took on the challenge of significantly altering her appearance for the role, hoping to convey a powerful message. “The film addresses a topic that affects many of us,” Mandy explained. “It aims to raise awareness about the impact of body shaming and encourage people to be more empathetic. Success for me would be if viewers not only enjoy the film but also absorb its message.”
After a two-year hiatus, Mandy is making a comeback and is set to appear in several films this year. Her fans are eagerly anticipating her return to the big screen and are excited to see what she has in store.
