Talking about how Sweety's life story is an important part of Mumbai' history, the producer said, "Sweety's life story is a compelling chapter in Mumbai's history. It's larger than life, controversial, colourful and exciting. That's primarily why I was drawn to it. Looking at the screenplay we've developed over the last two years, I'm certain that the audience will find it worth their time, too."
The film will be directed by Samit Kakkad and will go on floors in the first half of next year.?
"I have had a chance to know Sweety from up close. I've seen her dancing at the bar and the way men went weak in their knees with her sensational moves. She could give any bar dancer a run for her money," said the director and added, "With her, I had a chance to get a lot of insights into the bar scenario of Mumbai and the life these dancers lead. We've packed all of that and much more into the script. I, frankly, can't wait to start rolling Topaz", he concludes.??
