Gurinder Chadha is ready to make one other empowering female-centric story — and make historical past. The “Bend It Like Beckham” helmer has been tapped to provide and helm an unique musical characteristic for Disney that’s “impressed by a dynamic princess from Indian historical past,” per Deadline. This can mark the primary time a Disney movie has centered on an Indian princess.
Up to now, the plot is below wraps. Chadha is penning the script with frequent collaborator Paul Mayeda Berges.
Finest identified for “Bend It Like Beckham,” her 2002 smash hit a couple of British-Indian teenage woman who goals of taking part in soccer, Chadha’s different credit embrace “Blinded by the Gentle,” “Viceroy’s Home,” and “Angus, Thongs and Excellent Snogging.”
