Begum Jaan also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Ila Arun, Gauahar Khan, Pallavi Sharda, Rajit Kapoor, Ashish Vidyarthi, Vivek Mushran, Chunky Pandey, Poonam Singh Rajput, Ridheema Tiwari, Flora Saini, Priyanka Setia, Mishti Chakraborty, Sumit Nijhawan, Pitobash and Rajesh Sharma in pivotal roles.

“There’s something about Vidya’s face, voice and body language. Frankly, if you think of such powerful roles, you can only think of Vidya or Rani Mukherji. Vidya was my first choice. I can’t think of other actors who can pull off this character,” the director told Hindustan Times.

Begum Jaan has been shot in Delhi and different parts of Bihar.

Talking about the film, Vidya had earlier told Hindustan Times, “I have Begum Jaan, which is extremely powerful. It let me vent my angst as a woman.”

Vidya took to Twitter to share the poster with her fans and wrote, “Aa rahi hoon main! #BegumJaanFirstLook @visheshfilms @srijitspeaketh”

Begum Jaan is releasing on April 14.

Vidya will soon start working on Tumhari Sulu.
