    Kangana Ranaut set to play former PM Indira Gandhi

    Actor Kangana Ranaut is all set to play the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama to be directed by Sai Kabir. According to reports, the yet-untitled project is not a biopic and reportedly many prominent actors will be a part of the movie. The film's scripting is currently in the final stages. Here are more details on this.

    Ranaut called Gandhi 'the most iconic leader'

    Making the announcement, Ranaut wrote on Twitter, "Happy to announce my dear friend Sai Kabir and I are collaborating on a political drama. Produced by Manikarnika Films. Written and Directed by Sai Kabir (sic)." In a statement, the actor has called Gandhi "the most iconic leader that we have had in the history of Indian politics (sic)."

    Not a biopic of Indira Gandhi, she clarified

    Ranaut added in her statement, "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 socio-political landscape of current India (sic)," she said. She added the film is based on a book.
