After directing the 'Hate Story', Vivek Agnihotri is all set to make another film, 'Freedom' based on Parveen Babi's personal life, starring southern actress, Payal Ghosh.
Parveen Babi was a successful actress, however, her personal life was always tumultuous and experienced a tragic ending. Several filmmakers have tried to depict parts of her life in movies such as Arth (1982) and more recently, Woh Lamhe starring Kangana Ranaut. It is even said that Kareena Kapoor's character in Heroine reflects Parveen Babi to an extent.
However, as per sources, Payal Ghosh's story in the film resembles the relationship between Parveen Babi and Kabir Bedi. One of the segments in the movie will also be based on Sanjay Dutt. The director won't reveal real name in the movie but has confirmed the story. The characters in the film will not be based on Bollywood only but also others from different walks of Parveen's life.
The film showcases the period between 1970s to 2000 set in New Delhi.
