Sana Khan is brimming with hope that two of her forthcoming films would propel her career to great heights. They are ‘Payanam’, the Prakash Raj production venture directed by Radha Mohan, and ‘Aayiram Vilakku’, starring Santhanu Bhagyaraj in the lead role.

Says the ‘Silambattam’ girl, who was also seen in ‘Thambikku Indha Ooru’, “In ‘Payanam’, I play a passenger of a flight which is hijacked. It was a great experience to work with veterans.”

On ‘Aayiram Vilakku’, she says, “Though I am paired opposite Santhanu, I also have scenes with Sathyaraj, who is doing an important role. It is a Madurai based film and we were in the temple town for many days.”

Elaborating her Madurai experience, Sana says, “the people there are so warm and I tasted many delicious dishes in Madurai. The unforgettable one was biriyani which we had in a small hotel.”
