Although he is currently busy finishing the details on his film with Shahid Kapoor, Batti Gul Meter Chalu – that will go on the floors shortly, he has already announced another film titled Jasmine. Co-producing the film along with Prernaa Arora, Shree Narayan Singh’s upcoming film is rumoured to star Anushka Sharma in the lead.
“Jasmine is the journey of a girl from her youth to motherhood, of eternal love between a mother and a child,†the director told an Indian publication. “I have always wanted to work on a woman-centric film and I’m able to do so now.â€
Playing the titular character of a surrogate mother in the film, Anushka seems to be the first choice, although nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
