"The film reflects one of the most important periods in Indian political history which changed the way we view power and that`s why I decided to tell this story," Kangana said while talking about the story at an event in Mumbai.
"Moreover, playing a public figure on screen is always a challenge because one has to get the look, the characteristics and the persona right. I spent a significant amount of time researching the subject and once I felt I had enough ammunition, I commenced on the film`s shoot," she added.
The film is slated for release early next year.
This is not the first political character played by Kangana Ranaut. Earlier, she played late former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalitha in 'Thalaivi'.
