National award winning director Vishal Bharadwaj who has given us master-pieces like Maqbool, Omkara, Haider, and more recently Rangoon was all set to direct his next with Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan, However, the film seems to have hit a road-bump due to the lead actors' health developments and Vishal took no time to announce the delay of the film himself. Taking to his Facebook page, the multi-faceted director wrote :
“I am pushing back the film by a few months as both of my lead actors are down with different health problems. Irrfan is down with jaundice and it will take him a few weeks to recover and Deepika Padukone's back problem which had previously developed during the shooting of Padmaavat has now resurfaced. Her role in the film is very physically demanding and the doctor has advised her not to do any strenuous work for a couple of months."
Bharadwaj also clarified rumours about his film being a bipoic on the notorious mafia Queen Ashraf Khan aka Sapna didi. He said :
"I would also like to clear that the film is still untitled and is not based on Rahima Khan/Sapna Didi’s life. Yes, it’s a takeoff from the story Femme Fatale from Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai but as we worked on this idea, the story and screenplay have taken on a new identity and shape which is nowhere close to the above-mentioned names. Hence, it’s definitely not a biopic."
