With Airlift becoming a big hit, the Indian audience has proven that it is today mature and ready for real cinema based on true stories. While T-Series are distinct leaders in Bollywood music and have so far produced commercial and musical cinema, the audience’s response to their Baby and Airlift have strengthened their belief that films based on true stories work. Thus post Airlift, T-Series has decided to produce Sarbjit, a biopic based on the life of Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Sarbjit, being directed by National award winning director Omung Kumar starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Randeep Hooda, Richa Chadda and Darshan Kumar. Sarbjit is produced jointly by Vashu Bhagnani, Bhushan Kumar, Sandeep Singh and Omung Kumar will release middle of this year.
About Sarbjit:
Dalbir Kaur (played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), is the older sister of Sarbjit Singh (played by Randeep Hooda), a farmer from Bhikhiwind in Punjab (just 5 kms away from the Indo-Pakistan border), who in 1990 while farming, inadvertently, crossed over to Pakistan after having a couple of drinks, got mistaken as an Indian spy and was given capital punishment in 1991 but was not hanged. He was kept in the Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore for 23 years, before he was killed by inmates. During his 23 years in jail, his sister Dalbir Kaur, who treated him more like her son than her brother, got to meet him only thrice in jail and made it her life's agenda to get him released. While she finally did not succeed in getting him released, she is determined to reach his real story to the world through a film titled Sarbjit being made based on his life. The story of Dalbir and her family’s battle and finally defeat for not being able to bring her brother back alive is not just touching but heartbreaking.
