On the occasion of Women’s Day on Friday, it was announced that actress Huma Qureshi would be seen playing a female auto-rickshaw driver in a yet-untitled film directed by Vipul Mehta.

The untitled drama unfolds the true story of an auto-rickshaw driver, a woman of iron will and vision. It pays homage to the courage of ordinary women doing extraordinary things.

Huma said: “To depict a character with such indomitable spirit is a rare and cherished opportunity. It’s particularly poignant that we announce this project on Women’s Day — a day that celebrates the power and dignity of women.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
