Often, the best stories come from real-life events. Suparn S Varma firmly believes it. After Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai (2023) that was based on the case that led to the conviction of self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, the filmmaker is set to make a courtroom drama on the Shah Bano case, which is considered an important case in India’s constitutional history.
The case remains relevant even today as it examined women’s rights, religious principles and their place in a democracy. Sources reveal that Varma has finalised the script after extensive research. “He is locking the principal cast. Suparn has already zeroed in on the director—a National Award-winning filmmaker who, he believes, will lend the intellectual acuity and sensitivity that the subject deserves. They are confident that Shah Bano’s case is important for this generation as it also showcases women empowerment,” says a source.
