‘Mary Kom’ director to sign Kangna Ranaut for Sarabjit Singh biopic?

It was earlier being speculated that Kangna Ranaut would be roped in to play the role of Sarabjit Singh’s sister, Dalbir Kaur, in a biopic to be directed by Hansal Mehta. ��However, the project will now be directed by ‘Mary Kom’ (2014) director, Omung Kumar, instead.

Confirming his association with the project, Kumar said, “Yes, I will be directing and co-producing ‘Sarabjit’. Even Though I have three scripts lined up, this will be my next film after ‘Mary Kom’.”

However, Zeishan Quadri, the co-producer of the film, says it is too early to announce whether Ranaut would be doing the project.

“We’d love to work with Kangana… she gives everything she has to a role. But we have not yet finalised any actor so far which is why I wouldn’t want to make a premature announcement,” Quadri said.

Shooting for the film will��begin��from October this year, therefore an announcement confirming the cast is expected soon.
