Kangana Ranaut to play former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in political period drama
Mumbai, Jan 29: 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.
"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," she added.
Kangana, 33, is currently filming for action drama "Dhaakad" in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. She also has "Tejas" and second installment of "Manikarnika" franchise, titled "Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda", in the works.
This is a photoshoot about iconic women I did in the beginning of my career, little did I know one day I will get to play the iconic leader on screen. https://t.co/ankkaNevH2

Suspected Maoists in Wayanad call for boycott of LS polls
Wayanad (Kerala) (PTI): A four-member group of suspected armed Maoists reached an area under Thalappuzha police station in this hill district on Wednesday morning, urging the people there to boycott the April 26 Lok Sabha polls.
A police officer said a group of police personnel has gone to Kambamala after learning about the Maoist presence in the area. However, he did not elaborate.
Meanwhile, locals said the Maoists reached the area around 6.15 am and raised slogans. The ultras also urged the people to boycott voting, they said.
The Maoists were in their uniforms and were carrying guns. They spent around 20 minutes in the area, the locals added.
A purported video of the Maoists interacting with the locals surfaced later.
It also showed that there were people, mainly workers, at the junction at the time of their arrival.
