Ranveer Singh’s intense first look from Dhurandhar, directed by Uri filmmaker Aditya Dhar, has sent fans into a frenzy. But what also caught everyone’s attention was the introduction of the film’s only confirmed female lead so far Sara Arjun. A known name in South cinema and among India’s top child artists, Sara is now making a giant leap into Bollywood as the heroine opposite Ranveer.
Sara was born on June 18, 2005, in Mumbai. By the age of five, she had appeared in over 100 advertisements, becoming a familiar face on Indian television through brands like McDonald’s, Maggi, detergent and chocolate ads.
She got real recognition by playing the emotional character of Vikram’s daughter ‘Neela’ in the 2011 Tamil film ‘Deiva Thirumagal’.
After this, Sara worked in many films in both Hindi and Tamil languages, including ‘Ek Thi Daayan’, ‘Jazbaa’, ‘Saivam’ and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ I and II. She also played the young version of Aishwarya Rai’s character in this historical film.

Sara is the daughter of acclaimed actor Raj Arjun, known for his roles in Secret Superstar and Thalaivii.
According to Gulte, by 2023, Sara Arjun had become India’s highest-paid child actress, reportedly earning up to Rs 10 crore before she turned 18.
Sara Arjun is poised for her first full fledged Bollywood heroine role in Dhurandhar. The upcoming action spy thriller also stars Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, with Ranveer Singh in the lead. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film is reportedly inspired by true events and is slated for a December 5, 2025 release.
However, many people online also noticed the big age gap between Ranveer and Sara. Ranveer turned 40 on July 6, while Sara is just 20 years old. This 20 year age difference made some viewers feel uncomfortable.
