Richa might even meet Sukhpreet Kaur sometime this week," a source close to the actress said.
     
    In the biopic, the "Fukrey" actress will be seen as the protagonist's wife Sukhpreet Kaur.
     
    The actress also took to Twitter, where she wrote: "Travelling to my holy birthplace... For Sarbjit... Ambarsariya". 
     
    Actor Randeep Hooda will be seen playing Sarabjit in the film, which will be narrated through the perspective of the victim's sister Dalbir Kaur, played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
