Actress-politician Jaya Prada is returning to films with a lead role in director Sanjay Sharma’s paranormal thriller. The 53-year-old actress, who was last seen in a supporting role in 2013 Kangana Ranaut-starrer ‘Rajjo’ in 2013, will play a modern-day queen in the upcoming film.

Prada said doing the movie was a brave decision for her. “My character Rani Sahiba is glamorous with grey shades. People’s expectations have changed and youngsters today are looking for different stories.

I have never played such a character and so doing this film is a really brave decision. And I trust my director Sanjay Sharma too,” Prada said in a statement. The yet-to-be-titled film will be shot in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
