Saniya, who first portrayed Jhanvi in ‘Lucifer’ (2019), expressed her excitement about reprising the role. “I played the daughter of Priyadarshini Ramdas, Manju Warrier’s character. Now, five years later, Jhanvi is back, but she has grown. She’s more mature and takes life more seriously,” she said.
The actress reflected on her journey, calling ‘Lucifer’ a major stepping stone in her career. “It was my second film, a massive production, and I never imagined I’d get to be part of its sequel.” Despite working with the same team, she described ‘Empuraan’ as a fresh experience.
