Kiran Bedi interview on upcoming biopic: ‘The story is not just mine, but of every woman who represents India’
The Hindu“My life is an open book,” says Kiran Bedi, the country’s first and highest-ranking woman police officer. The script-ready biopic on Kiran Bedi is set to roll into pre-production, according to Chawla, who wishes to make the film a 2025 release to coincide with the United Nations’ 50th International Women’s Year. And now, my biopic is aiming for a release in its golden jubilee year!” Chawla added that he feels honoured to be able to write and direct a full-length feature film on Kiran Bedi whose illustrious career would inspire generations to come. “I kept refusing them, but it clicked with Kushaal; he had extensively researched my life for four-and-half years and waited for me to get free from my government duty,” she says, adding, “I think the time had come; one phase ends and leads you to the next in a natural progression.” A household name across three generations, Bedi who turned 75 on June 9 remains equally curious about who will be cast in her role.
