Reports suggests that the director had approached Priyanka Chopra to star in the film. Recently sources reveal that the leading lady is yet to be finalised and the film has a tentative title, they say for now the film is titled Hira Mandi.


 

The film will be based on how Gangubai Kothewali had said to have run multiple brothels across Mumbai in her time. To this day, she is immortalised in the form of idols found across her that pay tribute to her penchant for offering protection to the many women forced into the sex trade.
