Friday, 5th June 2015, 3:20 PM IST Omung Kumar, who directed ‘Mary Kom’, will be now directing Sarabjit’s biopic which has been titled as 'Sarbjit'. There were reports that Sonakshi Sinha and Kangana Ranaut were considered for the film, but it’s none other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who will be seen playing the role of Sarabjit’s sister, Dalbir Kaur, in the film. The movie will be based on Sarabjit, but it will be told through the eyes of his sister. Omung confirmed the news and said, "Yes, Aishwarya will be part of the Sarabjit biopic and will be playing the role of his sister, Dalbir Kaur." "In fact, when I narrated the script to Aishwarya she had tears in her eyes and said a straight yes to being a part of the film," he added. The producer of the film, Sandeep Singh 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.” The movie will start rolling in October with a start-to-finish 70-day schedule. The movie will be shot in and around Punjab.
