“We have started filming and would like to first say that, the picture is already out and I am very thankful for the response… It has been very encouraging, even for the choice of subject. Work has begun and it is (the film) intense,” the 41-year-old actress told reporters here at Stardust Awards.
“Sarbjit” is produced by Sandeep Singh, Kumar and Vashu Bhagnani. The film is slated to release on May 20, 2016.
