Often actors choose the movies they want to front. But Celina Jaitly believes that her next movie, Nibedita, chose her. The actor, who is returning to face the camera six years after the short film, Season’s Greetings (2020), will step into the role of Irish-Indian educator and social activist Sister Nivedita in the biopic directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee. 

Set to roll in early 2027, Nibedita will chronicle how Margaret Elizabeth Noble met Swami Vivekananda in London and was so influenced by his teachings that she moved to Calcutta in 1898.
