Nirbon has been one of the most anticipated movies of the actor. Directed by Gautam Halder, the movie will have Rakhee playing the role of a 70-year-old widow named Bijobala, who gets entangled with her new tenants. Reportedly, the movie is an official adaptation of Moti Nandi's novel Bijolibalar Mukti. Rakhee revealed that she was fascinated by the script and Halder's dedication, which led her to accept the role of Bijobala. Reportedly, Rakhee chose Nirbon over multiple movies offers due to its socio-political message and intelligent script. The Bengali-language movie recently premiered at the Kolkata International Film Festival and is gearing up for its premiere at the upcoming International Film Festival of India in Goa.
Rakhee and her future projects
Reportedly, the 72-year-old prefers spending her time in her sprawling farmhouse located on the outskirts of Mumbai. According to reports, the actor invests most of her time in farming.
