BOMBAY TIMES (March 28, 2016)
After Chalo Dilli, Lara
Dutta Bhupathi is set to raise the bar higher with her second outing as a
producer. Her next venture will be based on the true story of the
Chhattisgarh Women's Basketball team that made waves in 2015 after
winning every major title in the country. The film highlights the
players' journey of braving the odds, both as a team and individually.
Lara has already bought the rights to the story and will produce it
under her banner, Bheegi Basanti Entertainment.
She says, “I have always wanted to tell stories that celebrate the strength of human spirit. When we were looking for our second subject, this fantastic story suddenly popped up in our search. Madhya Pradesh has always given the country decent basketball teams but the efforts of coach Rajesh Patel, who led the Chhattisgarh Girls team to success, was truly the game changer for both the sport and girls. Whilst working at the Bhilai Steel Plant and as the Head Coach of all of Chhattisgarh's State Women's teams, Patel led the team to extraordinary success, making it a true-to-life fairy tale story. A love for the game, coupled with the celebration of the indomitable human spirit, made this an ideal story for us to chase and recreate.“
