Penoza tells the story of Carmen. The police promise her justice and protection after her husband, who was a member of a mafia gang, is murdered. But Carmen decides to take up the battle and steps into the world of crime to protect her three children and track down her husband's killer. In the film, Kajol will be seen essaying the role of this feisty widow.
Deepak Dhar, whose company is co-producing the film with Ajay, confirmed the news saying, "Yes, we are adapting Penoza. Ram Madhvani is a wonderful director.We are looking forward to working with him. " Mirror had earlier reported (April 30, 2014) that the same production house was toying with the idea of bringing Kajol back with a TV show, an Indian adaptation of the series Forbrydelsen. The Danish drama, which also has a critically acclaimed American remake The Killing, revolves around a veteran investigator Sarah Lund.
Prior to this, Kajol had considered Rensil D'Silva's 27-episode fiction show (Mirror issue dated December 28, 2013), which revolved around a single mother living in an joint family in Delhi.But since the actress was demanding a high premium,which the channel wasn't willing to cough up, the project didn't materialise.
But, finally it's a film for Kajol. A source close to the development told Mirror, Kajol's comeback had to be a big and meaningful project. Hence both the producers took their time before zeroing down on Penoza. A few modifications are likely to be made to the original series. Ram returns to wield the megaphone after 12 years with this film."
