For the unversed, the Ashima Chibber directorial is inspired by the real-life story of Sagarika Chakraborty and her husband, whose children were taken away by the Norwegian authorities in 2011. Earlier, Rani had said, “I have given it my all to bring Sagarika’s daunting struggle of getting her kids back on celluloid. I have seen how my mom, a Bengali mother, is fiercely protective of her children and I saw the same traits in Sagarika when I learnt about her life story. So, two Bengali moms have actually inspired me to play this role and I’m so proud that it is resonating with people, especially mothers, across India,” in a statement.
