New Delhi: An upcoming film by Sandeep Singh will portray the life of ancient Indian royal dancer Amrapali from the Republic of Vaishali. Sandeep, who produced 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar,' has cast actress Ankita Lokhande in a biopic about the royal courtesan ‘Amrapali’.

The series ‘Amrapali’ will cover her life as she transitions from an imperial courtesan to a Buddhist nun. As a Buddhist devotee, Amrapali goes through a wide range of emotions and trials until she decides to give up all material possessions and live a life of celibacy.

Filmmaker Sandeep Singh said, "Amrapali was known for her beauty and grace and was one of the strongest characters in the history of India. I could not see anyone but Ankita Lokhande, who has surprised everyone with her spectacular performance in my film 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.' She is just right for the role as she has all the attributes of a charming princess and a nagarvadhu, as she is also a great dancer. Ankita emotes beautifully through her eyes, which will capture the essence of Amrapali.”

Talking about the series, Ankita said, "Amrapali will be a surprise for me and the audience. I hope to live up to their expectations.”

Music composer Ismail Darbar stated, "After 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Devdas,' 'Amrapali' will be the most challenging musical journey for me because this story is about a dancer who, disheartened with life, adopts spiritualism. There will be ten songs of various hues capturing the opulence and the divinity of Amrapali."

‘Amrapali’ is being produced by Legend Studios.
