 Kangana Ranaut will essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama. The actress says the yet-untitled film is not a biopic and has also revealed that many prominent actors will be a part of the upcoming project.<\/p>\n

“Yes, we are working on the project and the script is in final stages. It is not the biopic of Indira Gandhi, it is a grand period film, to be precise a political drama that will help my generation to understand (the) socio-political landscape of current India,” said Kangana, in a statement released by her office.<\/p>\n

“Many prominent actors will be part of this film and of course I am looking forward to playing the most iconic leader that we have had in the history of Indian politics,” said the actress.<\/p>\n

Kangana added that “the film is based on a book”, although she did not elaborate on which written work.<\/p>\n

The actress will produce the film that will feature Emergency and Operation Blue Star.<\/p>\n

Director Sai Kabir, who worked with Kangana earlier in “Revolver Rani” will write the story and screenplay, and also direct the project.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Kabir flew to Bhopal where the actress is currently shooting for “Dhaakad” and has already done a few sittings with the actress. The screenplay is ready, according to sources.<\/p>\n
