Tanishaa Mukerji will be seen playing the role of a journalist in the upcoming biopic of social activist Anna Hazare. The Hindi language film will be directed by Shashank Udapurkar.

Tanishaa added, "It's a story close to Anna Hazare's real life. He has approved it and so this will be his official biopic. At his age, he has inspired a whole generation of youth and I found that extremely fascinating."

Since it's a political drama, we wondered if the actress was apprehensive on signing a project that could run into controversy. However, Tanishaa nonchalantly replied,"I have never shied away from controversies. You can make it my middle name."This is a comeback film of sorts for the actress whose last major film wasSarkar Raj(2008).
