Mumbai, Jan 29 (TIWN) 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.

This venture will be co-produced by Kagana and will be based on a book, featuring Emergency and Operation Blue Star. Speaking about the movie, Kangana 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.” Director Sai Kabir, who worked with Kangana earlier in ‘Revolver Rani’, will write the story and screenplay, and also direct the project. Kangana is shooting for ‘DhaakaD’ in Bhopal and Sai Kabir flew there to discuss the venture. According to sources the film’s screenplay is ready.
