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 produce and helm an unique musical function for Disney that’s “inspired by a dynamic princess from Indian history,” per Deadline. This will mark the first time a Disney movie has targeted on an Indian princess.
So far, the plot is underneath wraps. Chadha is penning the script with frequent collaborator Paul Mayeda Berges.
Best recognized for “Bend It Like Beckham,” her 2002 smash hit a few British-Indian teenage lady who goals of taking part in soccer, Chadha’s different credit embrace “Blinded by the Light,” “Viceroy’s House,” and “Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.”
Disney’s live-action tackle “The Little Mermaid” hits theaters May 26. Halle Bailey (“Grown-ish”) performs the titular function in the undersea epic.
