Monday, 29th June 2015, 4:45 PM IST Vidya Balan, who was recently seen in ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’, has been approached to star in Manish Gupta’s next which will be a biopic on Indira Gandhi. Talking about approaching Vidya, Manish said, "My agent has approached Vidya Balan to play Mrs Gandhi. He has given her the script on my behalf. During my research, I read 26 books on Mrs Gandhi, written by the likes of Katherine Frank, Pupul Jaykar and Lt Gen K S Brar. I've taken the common thread from their perspectives to arrive as close to the truth as is possible. Jaiprakash Narayan had led a revolution against her government. In my film, I wish to show how she managed members of her own party and the then President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed to declare Emergency." He further stated that he has sent the script to Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi's office for approval. "I've shown contrasting viewpoints and a conflict. Her intention was good while getting Emergency declared. But things went out of her control. That had a negative impact on India," he said.
