Sadia Khateeb On Her Enthralling Experience While Shooting For Silaa

Recalling those intense shooting days she spent in iconic Son Doong Cave, Sadia Khateeb said, “I have too many great memories from the shooting days, but I’ll start from when we started shooting this film in the cave and the four days when we were in the cave without any phone, without any electricity, without any bed. We were sleeping in tents. We’re the first filmmakers, we’re the first film to be ever shot in that cave. The experience was exhilarating.”

She further continued, “That cave has its own ecosystem, that cave has its own ground and sky, literally. It’s not just a flat walking cave. You have to climb mountains, and all of us, all the crew, used to climb mountains, walked for like 25 kilometres. It’s a long stretch, though. Sweat, blood, tears, you name it.”

While speaking about the director of the film Silaa, Sadia mentioned, “Omung sir saw me in a way that not many people have seen before. He trusted me with shades and moments I hadn’t explored earlier in my career, except for just action, thrill and adventure. Silaa gave me the space to step into something completely new for me as an actor.”

The ‘Shikara’ actress further added, “We even shot a song in Gulmarg where I was dressed and presented like a full-fledged Bollywood heroine, something I hadn’t experienced before. In Shikara and The Diplomat, I was immersed in very different, rooted characters. But in Silaa, I got to embrace the classic heroine space as well, and that felt incredibly special. I’m truly grateful for that experience.”
