‘Sarbjit’, a heart-wrenching story of an Indian national caught and jailed in Pakistan prison is gearing up for release in Bollywood. Letting go of her celeb status, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has had a tough time playing the role of Sarabjit’s sister, Dalbir Kaur on the silver screen. “The journey is very intense and emotional. It is difficult to relay it in a few words,” describes Aishwarya. The actress has undergone a complete image change, going de-glam and adorning an elderly look.
The role of Sarabjit will be played by Randeep Hooda while Aishwarya portrays his sister who fought hard for his release from the Pakistan prison. The actress adds, “I wouldn’t want anyone to re-live it, this family has gone through an immense test. I wouldn’t say that you are going to watch the film, but you will know the experience. For us also it was something to recognise and very naturally be emotional while re-living it while essaying the characters.” Richa Chadda is playing the role of Sarabjit’s wife.
‘Sarbjit’ is directed by Omung Kumar and as Bollywood waits for the film with bated breath, it is set to release in March this year.
