The film, helmed by Tony Stopperman, "mixes magical realism and gorgeous surroundings" with the harsh realities of a patriarchal society. "This beautifully-told tale of a young woman at crossroads in her life offers a rare look at aristocratic Indian society in the early part of the 20th century- one that will resonate with the audiences today," Batra said. Besides "Draupadi Unleashed", Batra will also be seen in Hindi film "Squad", which marks the acting debut of Danny Denzongpa's son Rinzing.
