Actress Mahima Chaudhry is back on the silver screen in a biopic on actress-gangster Archana Sharma. The actress who was best known for her debut movie called Pardes (1997) will be gaining weight for the movie in which she plays the lead role. Filmmaker Shashi Ranjan is already half way through his biopic on Sharma.

The movie is an adaptation of S S Hussain Zaidi's book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' and it has not been titled yet. "We are working on a biopic on Archana Sharma. She was a small time actress who had worked in a couple of Dev Anand films. It is a biopic on a small town girl who arrives in Mumbai to become actress and later takes to crime and turns into a gangster," said Ranjan.

Ranjan feels it is a challenge to make a biopic and he is leaving no stone unturned for the film. The film also stars Rahul Dev, who reportedly plays the role of gangster Babloo Shrivastav.
