Poster has catchphrase 'not a porn star' inscribed
In the poster, which has the catchphrase 'Not a Porn Star' inscribed on it, Richa is shown donning tons of gold jewelry. "I'm looking forward now that the film has wrapped up for the release next year. We've kept the story to the most authentic version of her real life," Richa said adding that essaying a living person's role was additional responsibility on her.
Shakeela helped the makers to create an authentic version
"Shakeela herself has been pivotal to making this film happen and helping us (with) an in-depth knowledge into her life," Richa said. Heaping praises on Shakeela, the actor continued, "She was a brave soul who defied norms of the business during her time and her story was much more than what people know of." The film also features Richa's 'Masaan' co-star Pankaj Tripathi.
Shakeela will also have a cameo in this film
The film is produced by Magic Cinemas and Yoddhas Entertainment, in which Tripathi is playing the role of a '90s actor. Shakeela, herself, is reportedly making a cameo in the film, which is set to release in the summer of 2019.
