Exclusive: Bollywood star Rani Mukerji is set to lead feature drama Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, we can reveal.
Plot details are being kept under wraps on the film, but we understand the project is based on the controversial 2011 true story of an Indian couple whose children were taken away from them by Norwegian welfare services.
Indian studio Zee Studios and local producer Emmay Entertainment are behind the Hindi-language film, which is currently in pre-production. Ashima Chibber has scripted and will direct. Nikkhil Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Monisha Advani are producing for Emmay.
Popular Bollywood star Mukerji, a recipient of seven Filmfare Awards, is known for movies including Yuva, Black, Mardaani, Mardaani 2 and Hichki.
Mukerji said: “There could have been no better way to celebrate my birthday today than announce this really important film. In my 25th year in cinema, I have possibly signed one of the most special and significant films of my career.
