Vidya Balan is one of the finest actresses in the Hindi film industry and who better than her to play one of India’s most powerful Prime Ministers (Indira Gandhi) in a biopic! Balan has bought the rights to journalist-author Sagarika Ghose’s book Indira: Indias Most Powerful Prime Minister.

“I am happy to have acquired the rights to Sagarika Ghose’s ‘Indira…’, because I have always wanted to play Indira Gandhi. I haven’t decided yet whether it should be a film or a web series, but that will take a while anyway,” said Balan.

Well, we certainly are excited for this one!
