National Award-winning film-maker Hansal Mehta is known for making slice of life films, and his forthcoming venture, Simran, starring Kangana Ranaut, promises to be the same.
Kangana, who has won acclaim for roles in which she is seen as an independent woman, will be essaying the character of Praful Patel, a woman who pursues happiness despite several hurdles.
Speaking about the character, Mehta says, “Praful is a woman who is unapologetic, ambitious, free-spirited and wishes for independence beyond what her family already allows her. She is a divorcee who does not fear making her own decisions. The film will take you through the stigma attached to choices and how Simran breaks stereotypes attached to divorce.”
