Actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, BJP president Amit Shah and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday launched the first official poster of Sarbjit here.
Directed by Omung Kumar, the movie is based on Indian convict Sarabjit Singh, who died following an assault by fellow prisoners at a Pakistani jail. The event at the residence of the BJP president was also attended by the producers of the film, Vashu Bhagnani, Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Singh, along with actors Richa Chadda and “Mary Kom” star Darshan Kumar.
Aishwarya is playing Sarabjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur while Randeep Hooda will be seen in the titular role.
Mr. Shah, who was impressed by the selection of the subject, wished the team good luck. “I would like to congratulate the makers for choosing this subject. This a story of an Indian who spent his whole life in anonymity and the struggle his sister went through to bring him back to his country. I wish the team good luck.”
