Now that Kabir Khan's film Tubelight has released, the
filmmaker will now focus on his forthcoming web-series titled The Forgotten
Army which he has been trying to make since his early days as a documentary
filmmaker.
About the web-series, Kabir said to a famous tabloid,
"For me, it’s not the story of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Everyone knows
about him, but what about the soldiers in his army? What happened to them?
That’s what the web series is about. It’s an epic and pans across six to eight
episodes. Each episode will be around 40 minutes long so the total runtime
would be almost equivalent to two feature films."
There were rumours that Saif Ali Khan was approached for the
web-series. But, Kabir denied the news and told us that they were rumours.
Now, as per the daily, Shraddha Kapoor has been approached
for the web-series.
"There’s a very important female character in The
Forgotten Army. The Azad Hind Fauj also had the only women fighting infantry
unit in the history of wars. It was called the Rani Jhansi regiment. So the
female character will be leading that unit in the web series," Kabir told
while disclosed that the casting process was still underway.
A source has specified that Shraddha has like the idea and
is taking a call on the same. Parineeti Chopra is Kabir's second choice but he
feels that Shraddha is perfect for the character.
In the meantime, Shraddha will next be seen in Haseena
Parkar whereas Parineeti will next be seen in Golmaal Again.
