The musical romantic drama co-starring Akshay Kumar and Dhanush premiered on a leading OTT platform on Friday (December 24). Critics and social media users have lauded Sara for her performance after watching her new film.

In her new post, Sara mentioned that 2020 was a ‘tough year’ for her. The star kid said that she waited for the call sheet of 'Atrangi Re' and ‘enjoyed every second’ with Aanand. She shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos with Rai while sharing the note, which was addressed to him.
"@aanandlrai sir I still can’t believe this! Pehle Rinku aapki thi, phir meri, ab sabki hai. Sir I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank you enough for giving me Rinku. But thank you for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. Thank you for teaching me how to love myself, thank you for making me believe in myself at a time when my confidence was at its lowest, thank you for teaching me our imperfections make us human," Sara wrote.
The 'Love Aaj Kal' star said that 'Atrangi Re' will continue to remain a part of her life. "Thank you for unconditionally loving me, endlessly spoiling me, and always supporting, motivating and encouraging me. Thank you for all my sunrises, all my saag, all our musical filled drives and all our ginger tea evenings. You know that 2020 was a tough year for me, and I want you to know (again) that it’s only Atrangi re and it’s various schedules that kept me going. I’ve waited for every call sheet of this film, and enjoyed each second with you. Every part of me would KILL to go back to day zero and do this all again," she added.
"You, Rinku and Atrangi will forever be a part of Sara (and probably the most honest part of her)," the actress concluded.
Sara essayed the role of a Bihari girl, who is forced to marry Vishu (Dhanush). Even though she loves Sajjad (Akshay), Rinku ends up falling for her husband. The love triangle is filled with emotions, drama and music and thus, makes for an interesting watch.
'Atrangi Re' is available for streaming on Disney+Hotstar.
