Mahakumbh Sensation Monalisa to Star Opposite Rajkumar Rao’s Brother

Monalisa, the young woman who went viral at Mahakumbh while selling Rudraksh garlands, is now set to make her Bollywood debut. The internet sensation has been signed as the lead actress in Sanoj Mishra’s upcoming film, The Diary of Manipur. Interestingly, she will be sharing the screen with Amit Rao, the elder brother of Bollywood star Rajkumar Rao, who is also making his debut with this film.

From Mahakumbh to Bollywood: Monalisa’s Journey

Monalisa gained widespread attention due to her captivating eyes and charming smile while working at Mahakumbh. Originally, she planned to stay in Prayagraj for the entire duration of the fair, selling Rudraksh garlands. However, her overnight popularity made it difficult for her to continue. Crowds followed her, cameras clicked non-stop, and she struggled to work in peace. Overwhelmed, she decided to return to her hometown Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh—but fate had other plans.

Director Sanoj Mishra, known for making films on socially relevant topics, noticed Monalisa’s viral fame and decided to cast her in his upcoming project. He personally visited her village, where she signed the film. Before stepping onto the sets, Monalisa will undergo acting training in Mumbai to prepare for her role.

About ‘The Diary of Manipur’

The film, The Diary of Manipur, is based on the ongoing crisis in Manipur. Director Sanoj Mishra, who has previously made films like Kashi to Kashmir and The Diary of West Bengal, is known for tackling controversial and sensitive subjects. His past films have faced opposition, and he has even received death threats, but he remains committed to bringing hard-hitting stories to the screen.

This project will be produced under the banner of Sanoj Mishra Films, with Yamin Khan and Javed Devariyawale as co-producers. The film aims to highlight the current socio-political situation in Manipur, making it one of the most anticipated upcoming releases.

A Star in the Making
