Dipika
Chikhlia,
who
is
known
for
playing
Sita
on
Ramanand
Sagar's
Ramayan,
has
shot
to
fame
once
against
due
to
the
re-runs
on
television
amid
the
Coronavirus
lockdown.
Dipika,
after
years
of
being
away
from
the
screen,
is
set
to
return
once
again
in
the
biopic
of
the
freedom
fighter,
Sarojini
Naidu.
Dipika
took
to
her
Instagram
account
to
announce
the
new
project
and
shared
her
first
look
as
Sarojini
Naidu
on
Thursday.
The
poster
read,
"Swatantrata
ki
nayika
ki
ek
ankahi
kahani
(An
untold
story
of
the
heroine
of
the
independence
movement)".
It
features
Dipika's
side
profile
as
Sarojini,
and
she
captioned
the
post
as,
"#sarojininaidu...1st
look....poster,"
The
film
is
said
to
be
directed
by
Akash
Nayak
and
Dhiraj
Mishra.
This
will
be
the
first
time
a
film
is
being
made
on
the
female
freedom
fighter,
who
was
an
important
influence
in
India's
independence.
Dipika's
return
has
come
after
Ramayan's
re-telecast
after
three
decades,
and
it
is
still
the
most-watched
show
on
television
in
India.
Talking
about
the
sudden
fame
and
show's
success
even
after
decades,
Deepika
said,
"I
have
not
analysed.
I
am
not
the
sort
of
person
who
sits
down
and
analyses.
The
only
immediate
thing
I
can
think
of
is
--
it
has
always
had
a
story
and
a
background.
It
always
had
a
legacy
and
an
era.
When
people
started
watching
I
would
get
messages
that
'now,
we
are
also
part
of
that
legacy
and
the
magic'."
"I
think
the
word
of
mouth
that
people
had
loved
it
30
years
ago
was
the
first
kick-off.
And
once
they
started
seeing
and
watching
I
think
they
kind
of
believed
in
the
magic.
I
think
that
is
how
the
circle
moved.
The
series
already
had
a
name
for
itself
and
I
think
that
the
re-telecast
rode
on
the
success
of
original
success.
That's
how
I
see
it," she
had
added
in
an
earlier
interview.
