Sarojini Naidu played a major role and was one of the most promiment female names in the independence movement right from 1905. However, being appointed President of the Indian National Congress in 1925 and joining Mahatma Gandhi’s movement at that time were among the highlights. Her poems played a major role in the inspiring citizens to come out and fight, and she was called the ‘Nightingale of India.’
Sarojini is being directed by Akash Naik and Dhiraj Mishra. It’s likely that the shooting will begin once the lockdown will be lifted.
