The movie is slated to hit the theatres on 14 April, 2017. Going by the poster, Vidya Balan looks fierce and rebellious. There is a gun kept on her side. The tagline of the film is also interesting. It reads, “When freedom fought independence.”This is not the first time that she will be portraying such a strong role but the gaze of the actress has piqued our interest to the core. It is being said that she will essay the role of a caretaker/madam of a brothel.
Holding a hookah in his hand and staring right into the camera, Vidya surely has an intimidating character. She seems courageous and bold. The poster has already piqued the interest of her fans. In one of the earlier posters, Vidya was seen lying on a cot, smoking hookah and on her side is popular actress Gauhar Khan. The story of the movie dwells on the plight of sex workers in a displaced brothel during the partition.
