The director, who helmed "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" this year, will be collaborating with KriArj Entertainment for the film.
Shree's Mukambika Pictures and Prerna Arora's KriArj Entertainment will be backing the social issue-based story.
"(I am) Very happy to collaborate with KriArj once again. I have always wanted to work on a women-centric film and finally I am able to do so," Shree said in a statement.
The story, about a "leased womb", is written by Siddharth-Garima, who researched on the topic for three years.
Set in the '90s in the vibrant and rustic Gujarat, "Jasmine" is touted to be an unprecedented journey of a girl to motherhood and what happens when a mother falls in love with a child who is not even her own.
Produced by KirArj Entertainment and Mukambika pictures, the film will start rolling next year.
The cast will be announced shortly.
