It seems to talk about all women through her, creating in her an icon," Uday said in a statement.

“Ingrid Bergman was just such an icon and her romance with Robert Capa is a story that needs to be told," he added.

This is YRF Entertainment's second collaboration with Arash Amel, who worked on the Olivier Dahan directed ‘Grace of Monaco’, which will be released later this year by the Weinstein Company.
