Priya Rajvansh and Chetan Anand's story to be adapted from the book 'Priya Interrupted'

Producer Deepak Mukut has acquired the rights to author Subodh Lal’s book ‘Priya Interrupted’. The book is based on the late actress Priya Rajvansh.
The film will be based on the lives of actress Priya Rajvansh and filmmaker Chetan Anand. According to the producer, he wanted to acquire the rights to the book because of its “mystery, thrill and suspense element”.
He said, “It’s a very unique and untold story of the journey of the yesteryear actress Priya Rajvansh.The mystery and suspense associated with her life really attracted me to make a movie. Also, we wanted to highlight the history and glory of Indian cinema through the veteran and renowned filmmaker Chetan Anand. It’s basically a love story of a director and a Hindi film heroine and has shades of romance, mystery, thrill, drama and suspense.”

Spilling some more beans on the same author Subodh Lal added, “Priya and I were very close. She shared a lot of information about herself, her schooling, her years outside India (especially in England) and of course her association with Chetan Anand and his brothers Dev and Vijay. I could see that she really wanted to remain truthfully frank. Most details and episodes in the book are based on these conversations. Then, of course, being a frequent visitor to Chetan Anand's house, conversations with the extended Anand family, helped. She, of all persons, was much misunderstood, which pained her.Thus, her going away the way was very painful for me and my wife. Hence the book ''Priya Interrupted''. I feel so good that her story will now reach a wide audience."
While the movie will be helmed by the National award winning filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar, the makers have not made any official announcement yet regarding the cast and the shoot schedule.
