A Hindi adaptation of Srijit Mukherji’s Rajkahini, the film portrays her as the madam of the brothel.Set amidst the turmoil of partition; the flick is co-produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt and Play Entertainment.

Earlier, speaking about Vidya being Mukherji’s first choice for the role he had said, “There’s something about Vidya’s face, voice and body language. Frankly, if you think of such powerful roles, you can only think of Vidya or Rani Mukherji. Vidya was my first choice. I can’t think of other actors who can pull off this character.”
