After making her comeback in 'Jazbaa,' Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is all set to take up her next project with 'Mary Kom' director Omung Kumar.
The 41-year-old actress will be seen in a biopic based on the trials of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian national convicted of terrorism by Pakistani courts and later killed by his fellow prison inmates.
Aishwarya will be playing Sarabjit's sister, Dalbir Kaur, who went door to door, knocking for justice and getting her brother released and the film will be narrated through her eyes.
Randeep Hooda will be essaying the role of Sarabjit and the film will be shot from December 1.
