While the ink is still drying on Jiah Khan‘s post-mortem report, plans have been announced that she will be the subject of an upcoming Marathi film.

The film called Nati (which means actress), will star Marathi actress Tejaa Deokar in a role similar to Jiah Khan’s life and tragic death.

Says the actress, “Yes we are making Nati on the life of an actress who is frustrated with her career and her love life especially. It is a journey of a woman and the circumstances which makes her to commit suicide. I think this will be one of the most powerful and provocative film ever tried in Marathi cinema and I am looking forward to it.”

The film is scheduled to be released in October.
