Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s first look as Dalbir Kaur in Sarabjit biopic is here. A source from the sets also informed that when the real Dalbir met the reel Dalbir, she got very emotional and thanked the actress for portraying her character with full justice. The 42-year-old actress looks every bit the courageous and gritty campaigner who fought for her brother’s release from Pakistani jail for decades.

Aishwarya plays the role of Sarabjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur, while Randeep will be seen in the titular role.
Not just Aishwarya, even Randeep Hooda’s first look from the movie is out and might we say he looks rather hot and intense.
Bachchan plays the pivotal role of Dalbir, Sarabjit’s sister, and the entire film is narrated form her point of view. Sarabjit Singh was an Indian convicted of terrorism and spying by Pakistan when he accidentally crossed over to their side. He was attacked by prisoners at a jail in Lahore in April 2013 and died a few days later. To look the part, Randeep went through an awesome transformation where he lost close to 18 kgs.
The shooting of the movie is going on in and around Amritsar in Punjab.
