It will be the biopic of Maharaja Duleep Singh
Shabana Azmi.
Mumbai: Shabana Azmi, who has worked with the likes of Shirley MacLaine in Madame Sousatzka and Patrick Swayze in The City Of Joy, is now starring in The Black Prince, the biopic of Maharaja Duleep Singh.
At age of 15, Duleep Singh was forcibly brought to Britain where he was converted to Christianity and groomed like a Britisher. For many decades now, Sikh historians have regarded Duleep Singh’s story to be emblematic of Colonial arrogance and intolerance.
The film is being directed by US-based Indian actor-director Kavi Raz in Northamptonshire in England.
Shabana says, “Satinder Sartaj is a very famous Punjabi Sufi singer and lyricist . He is playing Duleep Singh. I play his mother Maharani Jindan.”
“We’re shooting at Althorp Spencer Estate where Lady Diana grew up and is now buried. It is paradise,” adds the actress.
