Jacqueline Fernandez aboard Priya Rajvansh's biopic based on 'Priya Interrupted'

What's the story

Last August, we had learned that a film on the hauntingly beautiful late actress Priya Rajvansh was being planned.

To be produced by Deepak Mukut (Forensic), it was to have Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez in the role of Rajvansh.

Reports have now confirmed that Fernandez is aboard film and it is indeed being made.

Subodh Lal's Priya Interrupted will serve as the base material.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Rajvansh was murdered in 2000 in Mumbai.

The film will highlight her relationship with partner-filmmaker Chetan Anand.

The actor had appeared in a total of seven films and all were directed by Anand, who died in 1997.

Apparently, he included Rajvansh as one of his beneficiaries, alongside his children.

So, the filmmaker's two sons and domestic help killed her in Anand's Juhu bungalow.

Interview

She really wanted to remain truthfully frank, says Lal

On his part Lal said, "Priya and I were very close. She shared a lot of information about herself, her schooling, years outside India (especially in England) and of course her association with Chetan Anand and his brothers Dev and Vijay."

"I could see that she really wanted to remain truthfully frank. Most details and episodes in the book are based on these conversations."

Quote

'Her going away the way was very painful for me'

"She, of all persons, was much misunderstood, which pained her. Thus, her going away the way was very painful for me and my wife. Hence the book Priya Interrupted. I feel so good that her story will now reach a wide audience," Lal added.
