The "Fukrey" actress will be seen essaying the role of actor Randeep Hooda's wife in the upcoming biopic, which is said to be based on the Indian who died in a Pakistani jail.
"But yes, it's true I am offered the role to play Randeep's wife and I will sign on the dotted lines soon. Its an interesting role and cant wait to talk more on the same," she added.
The film is based on Sarabjit Singh, an Indian farmer who was convicted of terrorism and spying in Pakistan, was sentenced to death. He was attacked by inmates at a prison in Lahore in April 2013, and died a few days later.
The film also features actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who will be seen playing the role of Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur.
