Director Sai Kabir, who worked with Kangana Ranaut earlier in 'Revolver Rani' will be writing the story and screenplay, and also direct the project.
Actor Kangana Ranaut is all set to essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama. The actress said the yet-untitled film is not a biopic and has also revealed that many prominent actors will be a part of the upcoming project.
Kangana keeps making headlines, either for her performances in films or her social media presence. The actress has always maintained that her films are a way of speaking her mind about political and social issues.
After completing the shoot of 'Thalaivi', this is Kangana's second film with a political background. In a statement, Kangana said, "Yes, we are working on the project and the script is in the 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."
She further added, "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. Kangana added that "the film is based on a book", although she did not elaborate on which written work. The actress will produce the film that will feature Emergency and Operation Blue Star.
Director Sai Kabir, who worked with Kangana earlier in 'Revolver Rani' will be writing the story and screenplay, and also direct the project.
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.
Kabir flew to Bhopal where the actress is currently shooting for 'Dhaakad' and has already done a few sittings with Kangana.
Apart from 'Dhakaad', Kangana Ranaut also has the film 'Tejas' in the pipeline. Along with 'Aparajita Ayodhya', recently, Kangana also announced that she will star in the second installment of the Manikarnika franchise, titled 'Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda'.
