Vidya Balan to cast in a film on Maharashtra's tigress Avni
According to sources Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment is planning to put a project in place that will revolve around the controversial case of Avni's killing. They will present a factual but dramatised version of the event that got the nation divided in opinion.
In November 2018, Maharashtra's tigress Avni became a hot topic of discussion after she was killed. The tigress had rumoured to have turned a man-eater and killed 13 people in the district's Pandharkawada area. Her killing had caused a huge stir, leading to a national debate about her. A lot of people had different viewpoints on the issue.
For the film, the makers have cast Vidya Balan in the lead. The makers have worked with Vidya on the Shakuntala Devi biopic and it was then that they offered her this film too. It's a concept that appealed to Vidya and she has never done something like this before. She will be playing a forest officer in the movie. The team wants to roll the film sometime in the next two months. This will be Vidya's immediate next after the biopic on legendary mathematician and the Human Computer Shakuntala Devi.
