Her story will now be told by 'Raju Gaadu' director Sanjana Reddy through a multi-lingual.
The untitled film will be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. It will be officially launched on March 8 to mark International Women’s Day.
To be bankrolled by Kona Venkat and MVV Satyanarayana in association with a Bollywood production house, the biopic is likely to release late this year or early next year.
