    Aishwarya Rai Bachchan roped in for Sarabjit Singh’s biopic

     After delivering a successful biopic of Mary Kom, Omung Kumar is once again set to do a biographical film on Sarabjit Singh, the convicted terrorist who died in the Pakistan Jail. One of the prominent roles in the film is of Sarabjit Singh’s sister, who struggled a lot to get her brother out of Lahore jail. Earlier, the reports claimed that Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra are under consideration for the role but now, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been finalised.

    Sandeep Singh, the producer of the film confirmed the news. He said, “Yes it is true, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be playing the role of Dalbir Kaur Singh. The role demanded a very strong character with a powerful aura, and Aishwarya perfectly fits the bill. She has given spectacular performances in all her previous movies and we are confident that she will do justice to this role”.

    “After producing Aligarh and co-producing Mary Kom, I realized that content driven films are my calling which further motivated me to take up 'SARBJIT', that will would create an impact and inspire the audience as well as the youth worldwide”, he added. The film is joint production by Sandeep Singh, Zeeshan Quadri and Omung Kumar. The shoot of the project will start in October. The biopic will be screened at the Cannes Films Festival next year.
