According to Flynn Remedios, publicist for Begum Sahiba, the play will set new benchmarks for theatre and will also feature a video as part of the project. “It will be one of the most splendid plays and a visual treat for viewers,” he added. Rehearsals for Begum Sahiba, produced by Saar Entertainers have been going on for about two months now and it is expected to be staged around mid-August, explained Flynn Remedios

Poonam said, “It’s like coming back home again after ten years, after a long break, I am doing something that I have always loved. Though I have been regularly getting film offers, I have consciously stayed away from filmdom. Now, I am back again with a bang in Begum Sahiba as the evergreen, quintessential Begum,”

Rahul Roy said that he was pleased to be part of Begum Sahiba. “
This is absolutely a new orgasm for me that I never experienced before.
I can imagine the thrill of acting on stage - an orgasm that I did not probably get in my Bollywood career. When you are live on stage, there are no retakes, no editing on the computer. It’s all real, all live, happening then and there.”

Actor director Babloo Mukherjee is directing the play (he also plays a character in Begum Sahiba) which also features Kishore Bhanushali (also known as junior Dev Anand), Raj Prem and Zara as a transvestite. “Begum Sahiba has got romance, charity, deceit, humour, homosexuality, infidelity, suspense, lust and a variety of other attributes,” said Babloo Mukherjee.
