Punjabi films will always be my priority: Saanvi Dhiman

Actress Saanvi Dhiman

, who talked about how the Jatt wave refuses to die down in

Punjabi industry

, is keen to explore other regional cinemas. But Punjabi films will always be her highest priority. Eyeing other regional domains for exposure, the actress is in talks with the productions houses there.
Recently, Saanvi signed a Marathi film opposite big Marathi actor Bhushan Pradhan. Also, she had visited Madagascar last year to shoot for a TV commercial. “With this my quest to explore other regional film spaces started. I would love to do South Indian films," she said. Saanvi had told us that for her skin show is not a big problem, but there’s a limit to it. "My idea is that it should not be vulgar, for there’s a thin line between art and smut. For me,

Hate Story

series have much more to it rather than just erotica. I find it vulgar."


Since

Punjabi cinema

continues to hold on to its

cultural values

and mores, Saanvi feels that they (Punjabi actresses) get typecast being just simple and suit-clad girls. She added that skin show is a part of her work. “But how it’s being filmed is what that matters. I feel proud of the fact that our Punjabi film world respects our strong culture, even though it continues to innovate. Call it a fear or anything, we look to always maintain a perfect balance in our films, which are rich in cultural values. Also, Punjabi cinema is content driven."
