Pinkvilla
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Vikram
Malhotra
of
Abundantia
Entertainment
is
planning
to
put
a
project
in
place
that
will
revolve
around
the
controversial
case
of
Avni's
killing.
They
will
present
a
factual
but
dramatized
version
of
the
event
that
got
the
nation
divided
in
opinion."
In
November
2018,
tigress
Avni
was
shot
dead
on
account
of
her
being
a
man-eater
who
killed
13
people
in
Yavatmal
district's
Pandharkawda
area.
Avni
was
shot
on
orders
of
the
Supreme
Court,
which
divided
the
nation
as
to
whether
they
were
for
or
against
the
killing.
The
source
continued,
"They
wanted
a
strong
actress
who
can
shoulder
the
film
completely.
They
also
needed
someone
who's
a
great
performer.
The
makers
have
worked
with
Vidya
on
the
Shakuntala
Devi
biopic
and
it
was
then
that
they
offered
her
this
film
too.
It's
a
concept
that
appealed
to
Vidya
and
she
has
never
done
something
like
this
before.
She
will
be
playing
a
forest
officer
in
the
movie."
The
source
added
that
the
team
wants
to
go
on
floors
sometime
in
the
next
two
months.
This
will
be
Vidya's
next
film
after
the
biopic
on
legendary
mathematician
Shakuntala
Devi.
Shakuntala
Devi
has
been
written
and
directed
by
Anu
Menon.
The
film
is
scheduled
for
release
on
May
8,
2020.
