The film will take a look at one of the most powerful women of Hindu mythology and her role to play in the Mahabharata, exploring dimensions like greed, contempt and lust with nuance. Directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, it will have Rukmini Maitra play the iconic titular role. Dev also released a poster along with the announcement, hinting at the grandeur of the venture.
