A source revealed to Mid-Day, “Kangana had already been roped in for the Arunima Sinha biopic. But the film showed no signs of kick-starting. So when Balki offered her this project, she was keen to come on board. The film revolves around a woman who is left handicapped after a freak accident, and eventually reclaims her life. Bachchan will be seen as her mentor, who will inspire her to rise against all odds.”

A source said that Big B will play the role of Kangana's mentor in the movie and will guide her on fighting against all odds

Currently, the actress is enjoying a family vacation in Manali after taking a break from the shooting of Manikarnika.
