Reportedly, the actress will turn producer with this project and has kept herself involved in each and every stage of the process. 

The biopic of Indira Gandhi is based on renowned journalist Rajdeep Sardesai, Sagarika Ghose’s book titled Indira: India’s Most Powerful Prime Minister.

The source further said, “Vidya is extremely passionate and kicked about this project because she has been waiting to play Indira for years now. Each time, she was offered a film on her, it ran into a legal wrangle. Now, she has sorted all of it. She has been meeting the team each day to discuss how to go about the series. Vidya is involved in every stage of the process and that has consumed most of her time. She wants the show to be of a certain standard and position it well.”
