Priyanka Chopra is now gearing up for Trilingual, ‘Nalini’, inspired by an intriguing story from the life of Rabindranath Tagore which will be released in Bengali, Marathi, and English.
Doesn’t it sound interesting?
Directed by Ujjwal Chatterjee, ‘Nalini’ will have Marathi actress Vaidehi Parashurami in the titular role. Saheb Bhattacharya will essay the role of Rabindranath Tagore in this film.
The director said that the film is all set to go on floors in September and he also revealed that they should start candid shots in July.
The story of Nalini is inspired by the romantic and platonic love story of Annapurna and Rabindranath Tagore in the late 1870’s. He met Annapurna when he was staying with Dr. Atmaram Pandurang in Mumbai. Annapurna was 20 when Tagore was 17. She was an England returned affluent English woman who turned his tutor. While they fell in love, Annapurna’s father was against their liaison. Annapurna eventually married Scot Harold Littledale in 1880 and she settled in England.
‘Nalini’ also stars Soumitra Chatterjee, Victor Banerjee, Seema Deshmukh among others.
