Vidya looks fierce, intimidating in first look of Begum Jaan

Unveiling the first look, Vidya, a National Award winner herself, tweeted, “Aa rahi hoon main ! #BegumJaanFirstLook.” Set against the backdrop of Partition, the high-voltage drama, a Hindi adaptation of Mukherji’s stellar Bengali offering Rajkahini, is a story of survivors who defy nations to save their homes. ‘When Freedom fought Independence’ is the tagline of the movie and a brazen-faced Vidya reinforces the essence of her character – ‘My Body, My House, My Country and My Rules’ — in the maiden poster. The film is set to release on April 14.
