Priyanka Chopra’s Firebrand goes on floors!

Priyanka Chopra, owing to her super hit series in the west, Quantico, has successfully managed to take the global entertainment industry by storm. But, she has clearly not forgotten the fact that there are a lot of worthwhile stories that need to be told back home in India.

So, after producing the national award-winning and commercially successful Marathi films such as Ventilator and Kayy Re Rascala, PeeCee and her mom, Madhu Chopra’s production House, Purple Pebble Pictures is back with their next project titled Firebrand. The film will be helmed by National Award winning writer-director, Aruna Raje.

Living up to the interesting title of the film, the drama that goes on floors today features veteran actors from the Marathi industry including Usha Jadhav, Girish Kulkarni, Sachin Khedekar and Rajeshwari Sachdev.

While Usha Jadhav plays a successful lawyer Sunanda Raut, Girish Kulkarni essays the role of her husband Madhav Patkar, who is an architect by profession. Sachin Khedekar and Rajeshwari Sachdev plays a couple in the movie that is high on drama.

Madhu Chopra adds, “The general acceptance from the family audience for Ventilator has once again reinstated my faith in backing scripts with high emotional values, interesting characters and are entertaining at the same time.”

Aruna Raje says, “Firebrand is a contemporary story about relationships and the highs and lows people deal with in their lives. I am glad that Priyanka Chopra and Dr. Madhu Chopra are focussing on regional cinema and backing unusual and good subjects in an endeavour to create meaningful cinema.”

Firebrand is written & directed by Aruna Raje.
