Actor Celina Jaitly is set to return to the silver screen with the biopic, Sister Nibedita. The actor will portray the titular monk, who was the desciple of Swami Vivekananda.
Sister Nibedita was an Irish native, who was born as Margaret Elizabeth Noble. She made India her home and dedicated her life to women’s education, scientific thought, and social reform. Taking to her social media handle Celina wrote, "In many ways, her (Sister Nibedita) journey resonates deeply with my own. Like her, I returned to India after years in Europe, not in search of comfort, but to rebuild. To rediscover purpose. To begin again. While my journey can never be compared with her immense sacrifice, I understand what it means when life strips away everything familiar and asks you to find yourself once more. Perhaps that is why playing Sister Nibedita feels less like performing a role and more like answering a calling."
Ram Kamal Mukherjee, who collaborated with Celina in the short film Season's Greetings (2020), will direct Sister Nibedita. He will direct from a script by Ipsita Acharya. Music is composed by Sourendro and Soumyojit.
Aritra Das is producing the upcoming film under the Aritra Das Creation banner, with Sarbani Mukherjee producing the film under the Assorted Motion Pictures banner.
Celina Jaitly is known for her roles in No Entry (2005), Golmaal Returns (2008), Thank You (2011), and was last in Will You Marry Me? (2011).
