Naman Ramachandran India’s Dream Slate Pictures is commencing a biopic of Kiran Bedi, the first woman officer in the Indian Police Service (IPS). Formerly India’s national junior tennis champion, Bedi joined the IPS in 1972. She earned fame for her campaign against drug abuse in Delhi.
She also introduced reforms at Delhi’s Tihar jail, which earned her the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1994. Known for her staunch anti-corruption stance, Bedi then moved to a life in politics after retiring from the IPS. She served as the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry from 2016 – 2021.
“Bedi: The Name You Know. The Story You Don’t” promises to delve deeper into Bedi’s life, “revealing the untold incidents, personal and professional challenges and unwavering determination that shaped her extraordinary career in policing,” according to a statement from Dream Slate Pictures. The film is written and will be directed by Kushaal Chawla (“Another Time”).
It is produced by Gaurav Chawla (“Tulsidas”) for Dream Slate Pictures. It is set for a 2025 release. Bedi said: “This story is not just my story.
It’s an Indian woman’s story – an Indian woman who grew up in India, studied in India, raised by Indian parents, and worked for the people of India throughout her career. My story began at the age of nine when my father told me, ‘Life is on an incline, you either go up or you come down,’ and my mother said, ‘You shall be a giver and not a receiver.’ These statements remained my guiding principles. As we aim to release this film in the 50th International Year of the Woman, this will be an Indian woman’s story representing our great nation internationally.” Chawla added: “This film is a labor of love.
