If there’s one actor quietly building an impressive, unconventional path in Indian cinema—it’s Saiyami Kher. And now, the actress is stepping into an exciting new space—Malayalam cinema—with a cameo alongside her close friend and talented actor Roshan Mathew.
In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Saiyami opened up about her admiration for Malayalam films, her upcoming projects, and what makes her tick as an artist. Spoiler alert: it’s all heart and hustle.
“Malayalam Cinema Is Where Innovation Lives”
For Saiyami, joining a Malayalam film—even in a cameo role—isn’t just another credit. It’s personal.
“I’m doing more of a cameo in that film. It was a project Roshan was working on, and they’re wonderful filmmakers,” she shared.
“I’ve always really liked Malayalam cinema, and I’d love to do a proper, full-fledged Malayalam film someday.”
Now that’s a sentiment many of us cinephiles can relate to. Malayalam cinema is often known for its grounded storytelling, raw emotion, and sheer creativity—and Saiyami’s all for it.
“Their stories are so original and always bring something new to the table. They’re constantly reinventing the wheel.”
Honestly, facts.
Roshan Mathew: More Than Just a Co-star
Another reason this film is special to her? The friendship factor. Saiyami didn’t just say yes for the role—she said yes because of who asked.
“Roshan is a very, very dear friend of mine. He called me for this one, and since he’s such a close friend, I was just really happy to get back on set with him.”
And it’s these organic collaborations—built on trust, comfort, and mutual respect—that often give us the most memorable moments on screen.
What’s Cooking in Hindi Cinema?
Aside from her Malayalam debut, Saiyami’s got quite a bit lined up on the Bollywood front.
“I’m supposed to be part of three productions. I’m set to start a film at the end of August, but the producers haven’t announced it yet.”
We get it, hush-hush stuff—but that doesn’t stop us from getting excited. She also hinted at a second project kicking off in November, one she’s already prepping for.
“So fingers crossed for all of them!”
And we’ve got our fingers crossed right with you, Saiyami!
The Ironwoman With Artistic Grit
While her acting keeps her busy, don’t forget—Saiyami Kher is also the only Indian actor to complete the Ironman 70.3 triathlon twice in one year. Talk about a powerhouse!
She’s not just pushing herself in front of the camera, but also proving that mental and physical strength go hand-in-hand with artistry.
Right now, fans can catch her in Special Ops Season 2, where she reunites with Neeraj Pandey and the legendary Kay Kay Menon. And if you missed it, she was also seen earlier in the action drama Agni with Pratik Gandhi.
This Is Just The Beginning
Saiyami Kher is someone who plays the long game. She’s not chasing hype—she’s building something real. With her Malayalam debut, new Hindi films, and that unbeatable athletic streak, she’s living proof that passion, patience, and personal connection can lead to powerful performances.
Whether it’s on a rugged triathlon course or a film set in Kochi, she’s showing up and showing out.
