With the film’s script in its final stage, the director is planning to approach Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Vidya Balan to play the lead role in his film. A source says, “Madhur will be meeting all three of them and depending on how the talks go, the film’s lead will be finalised.”

The film takes its inspiration a real-life person who is currently a politician in Uttar Pradesh,’’ says the source. Interestingly, Madhur has earlier worked on a movie with politics as its premise.
