Monalisa, the young girl who captured the hearts of millions during last year's Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, is now a Bollywood actress. Her journey began when filmmaker Sanoj Mishra, known for 'Gandhigiri' and 'Shashank', spotted her reels during the event and offered her a role in his upcoming film, 'The Diary of Manipur'. The movie, which also stars Amit Rao, tells a love story set in Manipur, where a North Indian girl navigates a complex landscape amidst violence. After completing the film, Monalisa, who was previously a bead seller from Madhya Pradesh, will join the team at Magh Mela in Prayagraj to seek blessings from Ma Ganga. The film's journey was not without its challenges, as Sanoj faced a crisis and was even arrested on a false complaint. However, this did not deter him, and he continued to work on the film, even writing the story in jail. Monalisa's transformation from a reel star to a Bollywood actress is a testament to her hard work and dedication. The filmmaker praises her innocence and adaptability, saying that she has adapted well to acting and has a unique asset that sets her apart. The film also features fresh faces, including a debutant male lead, and Sanoj has ensured authenticity by casting actors from the North-East. The team is set to attend Magh Mela this week, marking a new chapter in Monalisa's journey to stardom.
