Her charming screen presence as a child made her one of the most sought-after child artists in India. Her Acting Career Sara's journey as an actress began on a strong note. She was widely appreciated for her work in the Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), where she played the daughter of a mentally challenged father, portrayed by actor Vikram. Though just a child, Sara's emotional performance in the movie touched many hearts and earned her a special award. She continued acting in numerous Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi films. Some of her most notable performances include Saivam, Ek Thi Daayan, Jazbaa, Saand Ki Aankh, and Ajeeb Daastaans. Each of these roles contributed to her growth as an artist and showcased her versatility as an actress. Lead Role in 'Dhurandhar' It's hard to believe, but Sara has worked as a child actor for years. She is now ready to take on mature roles. The biggest leap in her career so far is being cast as the female lead opposite Singh in the action-thriller Dhurandhar. Directed by Aditya Dhar—best known for Uri: The Surgical Strike—the film promises to be a high-scale patriotic spy tale.

Ranveer Singh plays the central role, with Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, and joining him on screen. The film promises high-octane action, patriotism, and drama. It is slated for release on December 5, 2025. While fans are excited to see a fresh face opposite Ranveer Singh, the casting has also sparked online conversations due to the age gap.

Sara Arjun has come a long way from her childhood acting days to leading a major Bollywood film. Her role in Dhurandhar marks a significant step forward in her career and signals that she is ready to take on more challenging and mature roles.
