Reliance Entertainment. to release Ram Gopal Varma’s Shabri on 26 August
MUMBAI: Reliance Entertainment is going to release Ram Gopal Varma’s Shabri on 26 August.
Varma was averse in releasing Shabri that had a story based on the first female crime lord in Mumbai because of its subject. But lately after he heard that Vishal Bhardwaj had announced his upcoming project Daayan, also based on a female gangster, Varma decided to release the film after four years.
Made in 2007, the film is about Shabri who runs a flour mill to make ends meet and how she becomes a gangster following a chain of events that changes her life. A fictional account of a female gangster, Shabri is not similar to Vishal Bhardwaj’s film which is based on a story from Hussain Zaidi’s book.
Directed by debutant Lalit Marathe, the film features Eesha Koppikar, Manish Wadhwa, Pradeep Rawat and Zakir Hussain among others.
