Mumbai: After the huge success of ‘Haider’, Vishal Bhardwaj is all set to work on his next Shakespearean inspired film, which is reportedly a biopic on Mary Evans Wadia popularly known as Fearless Nadia. According to reports the film has been titled ‘Julia’ and will tell the story of the famous stunt women in the 1930s.
Around eight years ago Bhardwaj began working on the script and even finalised a few actors, however the production house unfortunately backed out and the film was put on hold.
According to a recent report, ‘Finding Fanny’ star Deepika Padukone has signed the film and will play the role of Nadia. The team has also started reworking the script.
‘Julia’ will mark Deepika’s first film with the ‘Haider’ director; previously the actress had signed a film with Bhardwaj, but unfortunately opted out of the film.
