Priyanka Chopra plans to bring Rabindranath Tagore’s love story on the big screen


Priyanka Chopra made her passion towards cinema more evident by producing National Award winning film like 'Ventilator'. And now the multi-faceted actress is all set to produce a Bengali-Marathi bi-lingual, 'Nalini'.

The movie is based on the love story between the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and Annapurna. Set in the backdrop of 1878, when Tagore was 17 and staying with Dr Atmaram Padurang Turkhud in Mumbai. Annapurna was Dr Atmaram's 20-year-old daughter who stole Rabindranath Tagore's heart away.

Annapurna had just returned from London, and because of flawless command over English, she became Rabindranath Tagore's tutor, and as the classes progressed, their intimacy grew too. It was after Annapurna's persistence that he gave her the name Nalini, and their love was so strong that he wrote a dedicated poem for her and even composed music for it too.
