The film shall also put a number of misnomers/inaccuracies about her life to rest. Makers of Apa’s biopic backed by me will have all the creative freedom to put out her life in a truthful and honest manner.”
Casting-related information is anticipated. According to reports, the biography will begin filming this summer.
