Urban Myth Films executive producer Johnny Capps added: “When we read Anita’s book, we couldn’t believe that Sophia’s fascinating story had not already been told on screen. I’m thrilled to be working with Urban Myth Films who share our extraordinary passion for this incredible South Asian Woman.” Sophia Duleep Singh’s real life story packs a punch and now feels like the right time to bring such a bold and historically game-changing woman centre stage. “I have an immense amount of respect for Anita and I couldn’t put her book down. “While statues are being felled around the world, we desperately seek out the truth of our history,” said Mohindra. Following her father’s exile to England by the East India Company, Duleep Singh and her siblings grew up in Suffolk among the British aristocracy, but secretly traveled to India, where she became a bold and fearless revolutionary, suffragette and social activist upon her return.
