Singer Asha Bhosle's preference
Asha Bhosle appreciated Priyanka Chopra during a conversation with Bombay Times, stating that she would be a perfect choice for the role. She also commended Kangana Ranaut for her acting skills, saying that Kangana could execute the part well.
Where she said, "I think Priyanka Chopra Jonas would be perfect to play me on screen. Kangana Ranaut is also a very good actor. I feel she can be a great choice, too." Later she added, “Having said this, I don't think a film based on my life will ever be made.”
