Deepika to act in a periodic thriller

Deepika Padukone is now going to play the role of Kalpana Dutta in the periodic film of Ashutosh Gowariker named Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. It is a periodic thriller based on a true story written by Manini Chatterjee who is the daughter in law of Kalpana Dutta.

Asking about the real life of Kalpana, Ashutosh said, “Kalpana was just 17 when the Chittagong uprising took place. She was a voracious reader and was inspired by stories of the youngest revolutionaries. She was arrested for her involvement in some revolutionary movements. But considering her age and sex, she was given a life by the court. After her release in May 1939, she married P.C.Joshi, General Secretary of the Communist Party of India.

Kalpana’s story is really interesting but let’s see if Deepika would make her character interesting or not.
