When a poor lady Ranu Mondal from Ranaghat, West Bengal, sang the iconic Lata Mangeshkar song “Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai” at the railway station, it took everyone by surprise. The lady became an instant success and got millions of views on social media in a short time span. Now finally a biopic is being made on her to document her real life story of struggles and rags to riches story. The film will be titled ‘Miss Ranu Maria’ and will star actress Eshika Dey.

Miss Ranu Maria will be directed by Hrishikesh Mondal. Actress Eshika has featured in Bengali and Hindi films and also web shows, including ‘Laal Kaptaan’ and ‘Sacred Games’. Talking of her role in the biopic the actress said, “I wasn’t their first choice. It was Sudipta di (Chakraborty) who was supposed to be in the biopic, it was published everywhere in 2019, I guess. Maybe due to some problem with her schedule dates, Sudipta has stepped down. The film plan has been through a lot. It was initially planned in 2019 then 2020 happened and the lockdown was there. Now it’s being made in Hindi instead of Bengali. This time they approached me and I really had no idea. It was Shomin Ghosh who approached me and that's it!” Ranu has also sung the song ‘Teri Meri Kahani’ for Himesh Reshammiya in his film ‘Happy Hardy And Heer’ in 2020
