\n\tIndian actor Celina Vikram Jaitly is returning to feature films as Sister Nibedita, the Irish-born disciple of Swami Vivekananda, in director Ram Kamal Mukherjee\u2019s next biographical drama, after the two last collaborated on his film \u201cSeason\u2019s Greetings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJaitly built her Bollywood career on her 2003 breakout in \u201cJanasheen,\u201d followed by hits including \u201cNo Entry\u201d in 2005, \u201cGolmaal Returns\u201d in 2008 and \u201cThank You\u201d in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSister Nibedita\u201d is produced by Aritra Das Creation in association with Assorted Motion Pictures. It will follow the life of Sister Nibedita \u2013 also known as Nivedita \u2013 born in Ireland as Margaret Elizabeth Noble, who gave up her homeland to make India her spiritual home and went on to devote herself to social reform, women\u2019s empowerment, education and nation-building.<\/p>\n

\n\tVivekananda was a Hindu monk who carried the philosophy of Vedanta to the West, most notably in a landmark 1893 address at the World\u2019s Parliament of Religions in Chicago, and remains one of the most influential religious figures in modern Indian history. His guru, Ramakrishna, was a 19th-century mystic and spiritual teacher in Bengal whose teachings on the unity underlying all religions shaped the worldview Vivekananda would go on to spread globally.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe drama will track Nibedita\u2019s evolution from a young Irish educator into a champion of India\u2019s cultural and spiritual awakening, set during a period of sweeping change in the country. It will also examine her relationship with Swami Vivekananda and her part in shaping a national consciousness during that era.<\/p>\n

\n\tMukherjee reunites with music duo Sourendra-Soumyajit, who previously scored his \u201cBinodiini Ekti Natir Upakhyan,\u201d his last feature. The screenplay for \u201cSister Nibedita\u201d is written by Ipsita Acharya. The makers are still finalizing the rest of the cast and creative team.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cA subject like \u2018Sister Nibedita\u2019 was waiting to be told. I always felt that Celina would be the right choice for Margaret. While making Binodiini, I was reading books on Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. That\u2019s when I came across the wonderful journey of Sister Nibedita. I revisited her story and decided to make a movie. I am glad to have Celina as my leading lady, who would understand the pain and passion of woman\u2019s self-sacrifice,\u201d Mukherjee said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere are journeys that an actor chooses, and then there are journeys that somehow choose the actor. The last time I had the privilege of collaborating with filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee for \u2018Season\u2019s Greetings.\u2019 I never imagined that after almost four years our paths would cross for a story of such profound spiritual significance. As a little girl, I wandered through the peaceful grounds of Sister Nibedita\u2019s last home in Darjeeling, never knowing that one day I would be entrusted with bringing Margaret Noble\u2019s extraordinary life to audiences around the world. With the blessings of Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Mission, I take a sacred vow to give every ounce of my heart and soul to portraying Sister Nibedita,\u201d Jaitly added.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018Sister Nibedita\u2019 is a dream project. After \u2018Binodiini\u2019 we wanted to make \u2018Sister Nibedita.\u2019 Celina Vikram Jaitly flew all the way from Austria when our director Ram Kamal wanted to see the final look. We were surprised to see the transformation,\u201d producer Aritra Das said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project is unveiled on July 4, marking the 124th death anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cSister Nibedita\u201d team plans an international production, shooting across Mumbai, Kolkata and Ireland to capture the settings that shaped Nibedita\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
