Priyanka replaces Madhuri for the coveted role of Indira Gandhi

Filmmaker Krishna Shah has roped in Priyanka to play the role of Indira Gandhi in his next movie ‘Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story”. This is going to be a big budget biographic movie to be made in two parts. Jenny Shircore, the academey award winning make-up artist is the casting director. Jenny feels that Priyanka’s face would closely match Indira Gandhi’s face after some prosthetic work. Shah has said in a statement that

“Yes, I am in conversation with Jenny who thinks that Priyanka is the one who can fit in the character of Indira, but it will be too premature to talk about casting as we have not approached anybody as yet”

Albert Finney, Emily Watson, Tom Hanks and Tommy Lee Jones are the other famous actors who have been contacted for portraying various other characters in the movie. Shah has put in a lot of research for his script and has changed it several times. He has said

“The script has been reworked after I got my hands on Richard Nixon’s personal tapes related to the 1971 Bangladesh War. My research has changed the script a lot and now we are looking at casting an appropriate face for Indira Gandhi’s character”

Hmm sounds very interesting and exciting

Priyanka
