Kangana Ranaut To Play Indira Gandhi

Kangana Ranaut has confirmed one more political backgrounder film in which she will essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The announcement comes right after she wrapped 'Thalaivi'.

As per reports, the yet to be titled film is not a biopic of the only woman Prime Minister of India but depicts a certain time frame of her government.

Kangana took to Twitter and shared a two-part tweet, which read, 

“This is a photoshoot about iconic women I did in the beginning of my career, little did I know one day I will get to play the iconic leader on screen”

“She was very beautiful, not pin up girl type beautiful, her face was like when all the swords are drawn just before the King’s command....- Khushwant Singh”


It is been reported that she will produce the film that will feature Emergency and Operation Blue Star. The period film will be mounted on a very big scale, and have actors portraying Sanjay Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi, Morarji Desai, and Lal Bahadur Shashtri among other prominent figures.

Director Sai Kabir, who worked with Kangana earlier in the 2014 crime drama movie 'Revolver Rani' will be helming the project and will also write the story and screenplay.

Kangana also has in her kitty the second installment of the Manikarnika franchise, titled 'Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda, along with 'Dhakaad' and 'Tejas'.
