Dubai: A newspaper story of an Indian mum stranded in UAE will soon turn into a Bollywood movie. The film which is yet-to-be titled will be directed by Ribhu Dasgupta and produced by Arslan Goni, Sam Fernandes and Rajat Shrivastav.

The movie is based on a helpless UAE resident Zainab Fawad reported by Gulf News Media Group’s sister publication XPRESS’ Editor Mazhar Farooqui on November 17, 2016. The 44-year-old Indian expat Zainab Fawad was abused, rendered homeless and jailed before being divorced by her Pakistani husband. She was also forced to separate from her four-year-old twin boys. But the exclusive story went viral and Zainab was able to reunite with her children who were stranded in Pakistan since 2014.

XPRESS quoted Goni saying, “When we came to know about Zainab’s story through XPRESS, we realised it had to be told. As they say, every film has its own destiny. We spent over a week in Dubai meeting Zainab, Mazhar, Farhat Ali Khan and Juhi Yasmeen Khan who played a key role in turning things around. The film will be based on actual events and everyone who has been part of the story will be duly represented. The script is still under construction.”

Zainab, overwhelmed by the news about her trials and tribulations turning into a movie, she said, “XPRESS has changed my life. I thank Allah, Mazhar Farooqui and bless each one of you for reuniting me with my kids. I hope the film will do well. It is an encouragement to every woman never to lose hope. After all, it is not easy for an Indian woman to get her children back from Pakistan.”

Mazhar Farooqui said, “It is not every day that you hear of a newspaper story turning into a movie. I am curious to know who will play my role. Can’t wait for the release.”
