The actor, who is also a producer and filmmaker, revealed that she wanted to make such a film for a long time and had been researching and working on it for three years. However, Kangana Ranaut said because of a lack of support from any of the top studios and OTT platforms, she has been unable to make the film.

An X user said in the original tweet to Kangana Ranaut, “Dear Kangana ma'am, your passion for women empowerment is so encouraging! Would you be interested in telling the story of Bilkis Bano with a powerful movie? Will you... Will you do it for Bilkis Bano, feminism or at least humanity?”

"I want to make that story, I have the script ready, researched and worked on it for three years. But Netflix, Prime Video and other studios wrote back to me that they have clear guidelines they don't do so-called politically motivated films. JioCinema said we don't work with Kangana because she supports BJP and Zee is going through a merger. What are my options?"


Responding to this, the Queen actress said, "Yes there film content head called Sohbha Sant told my producers of Noti Binodini to change the actress and said that she will green light the project in one day if they do so. My producer and director tried to convince them they didn’t want to compromise on the casting of the film, they even sent me to Jio office to beg and plead with them, instead I decided meet the CEO Jyoti Deshpandey and directly asked what was their reservation, she insisted there was no such thing but later they dropped the project never took my calls and last week I got the update that Shobha Sant told my producers on that record that ask Kangana to never support BJP or fight elections if she gives that in writing they will go ahead with the project, needless to say I was numb for days."
