AMR Ramesh, who directed Shaam's Oru Melliya Kodu, is currently working on a film based on DIG Roopa's experiences as supervisor of the Bengaluru prison where Sasikalaa is jailed. We hear the filmmaker has approached Nayanthara and Anushka Shetty to play Roopa in the film. The director is in the process of researching the subject, and has already spoken to Roopa, who has no qualms about it. Our sources say the leading lady for the film hasn't been finalized yet though. "It will take one more month to finish the final script, and only then other details will be settled. 

It is to be noted that Ramesh has a knack for choosing original, hard-hitting stories. Even his Oru Melliya Kodu was inspired from real life incidents, and original stories, a source close to the director added. Meanwhile, we hear this biopic will focus on the jail episode with some portions about Roopa's life as well. "Ramesh will be meeting CIDs before drafting the final script," adds the source.
