Kangana Ranaut to play Indira Gandhi in political period drama

Actor Kangana Ranaut will essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama. The yet-untitled movie will be penned and directed by filmmaker Sai Kabir, who has previously collaborated with the actor on 2014 film "Revolver Rani".

"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," Kangana in a statement.
