The film is set during the Partition of India and shows the tribulations of displaced women.
The "Parineeta" actress took to Twitter and shared the first poster from the film with a powerful caption that read, " “Aa rahi hoon main! #BegumJaanFirstLook @visheshfilms @srijitspeaketh.”
The actress looks every bit the madam of a brothel in the poster. Her look has been designed by Bollywood designer Rick Roy.

Talking about Begum Jaan, Vidya said in earlier interviews, “My onscreen character raises a very important question — why are a woman’s actions controlled by her father, brother, husband or son? So she decides not to allow anyone to take away her space, be it in terms of property or her physical self. The script and the story are really very different and attractive. We are just finishing dubbing and post-production work.”
The film is directed by National Award-winning director Srijit Mukherji. The film marks his Bollywood debut.
"Begum Jaan" will hit the cinemas on April 14.
