Lioness, the first Indo-UK co-production under their 2008 bilateral treaty, was announced at the India Pavilion at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival yesterday. Aditi Rao Hydari and Paige Sandhu, a British actor of Indian origin, have been signed on for Kajri Babbar’s directorial venture. Paige portrays Princess Sophia, the granddaughter of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, while Aditi plays the fictional character, Mehak Kaur, an educated, married immigrant woman living in Southall in the 1990s. Humbled to portray Princess Sophia, Paige said, “The work that she did, the lives she helped [is noteworthy]. I truly hope to do justice to her incredible story.” Aditi added, “While Princess Sophia is a heroine in the true sense of the word, Mehak is an equally strong character whose journey parallels the Lioness’s in the present.”
