This is Omung Kumar’s second movie which is again a biopic basically after ‘Mary
Kom’, starring Priyanka Chopra. He has roped in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play Sarabjit
Singh's sister Daljit Kaur. Randeep Hooda has been signed on to play the role
of Sarabjit in the film. Richa Chadha has been signed to play Sarbjit’s wife
while Randeep Hooda of ‘Main Aur Charles’ play the key role of Sarbjit Singh.
The poster narrates the painful journey of Sarbjit Singh, an Indian farmer
who was convicted of terrorism and spying in Pakistan and was sentenced to
death there. He was attacked by inmates at a prison in Lahore in April 2013 and
died a few days later.
Randeep Hooda also shared the first look poster of the film, along with the
news that they had begun shooting for Sarbjit, on Twitter:

Before casting Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Sarbjit Singh's sister Daljit,
Omung Kumar had said in an interview, "I have not thought of any actress
yet. We also have been hearing about lot of actresses being finalised for this
project, but it is not true. We are looking for strong, bold, powerful,
bindaas, fiery ... Feisty (actress). We are not focusing more on getting the
physicality right ... We are not looking to have a duplicate of Dalbir
Kaur."
Dalbir's struggle inspired the director to give nod to the biopic. He had
said, "The story of Sarabjit Singh, his sister ... Her struggle for 23
years to get her brother out of jail was something that interested me. I read
the story, saw videos and it just shocked ... Surprised me."
