Rhea Chakraborty in talks to play Draupadi's role; Project will be set in a modern and contemporary world

In the past one year, Rhea Chakraborty has almost constantly been in the news due to the death of her late boyfriend and our country’s beloved actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She was also linked to the drug investigation in the film industry along with her brother. On the work front, Rhea is now gearing up for the release of her film Chehre. Helmed by Rumi Jaffery, the mystery thriller also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi. Well, latest buzz suggests that Rhea has now been offered the role of Draupadi.

In a report shared by ETimes, a source was quoted saying, “This would be a massive project with a unique and different take on Mahabharata and the character of Draupadi. The world that it will be set in will be modern and contemporary, something that hasn’t been done before. The role of Draupadi has been offered to Rhea Chakraborty and she is considering it currently. The discussion is very initial though.”

A month ago it was reported that Rhea is looking for work in Hyderabad, knocking every door she can, to be able to put her past behind her. She made her acting debut with Telugu film Tuneega Tuneega in 2012 before appearing in Hindi projects such as Mere Dad Ki Maruti, Jalebi and Half Girlfriend.
