MUMBAI: Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is very busy now a days. She’s just been cast as Dalbir Kaur, sister of Sarabjit Singh who died in a Pakistani prison in 2013, NDTV reported.
The biopic will be directed by Omung Kumar, who last made Mary Kom.
“Yes it is true, she will be playing the role of Dalbir Kaur Singh,” producer Sandeep Singh said in a statement.
“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 ‘Sarabjit,’ that will would create an impact and inspire the audience as well as the youth worldwide.”
