Kangana Ranaut will essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in an upcoming political drama. The actress says the yet-untitled film is not a biopic and has also revealed that many prominent actors will be a part of the upcoming project.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
"Yes, 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," said Kangana, in a statement released by her office. 
 
"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," said the actress. 
 
Kangana added that "the film is based on a book", although she did not elaborate on which written work. 
 
The actress&nbsp;will produce the film that will feature Emergency and Operation Blue Star. 
 
Director Sai Kabir, who worked with Kangana earlier in "Revolver Rani" will write the story and screenplay, and also direct the project. 
 
The period film will be mounted on a very big scale, and have actors portraying Sanjay Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi, Morarji Desai, and Lal Bahadur Shashtri among other prominent figures. 
 
Kabir flew to Bhopal where the actress is currently shooting for "Dhaakad" and has already done a few sittings with the actress. The screenplay is ready, according to sources.

Kangana Ranaut to play Indira Gandhi in political period drama

Kangana Ranaut, who is known for her versatile roles and stellar performances, is all set to woo moviegoers with her upcoming action thriller 'Dhaakad'. 
 
Calling the film a "benchmark" for her career, Kangana said, "The success of 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi'&nbsp;has proved that the audience love film with a female hero. 'Dhaakad' is not only a benchmark film for my career but will be a turning point for Indian cinema as well." 
 
Revealing a tad bit about the film, the 'Queen' actor said, "The film is mounted on a large scale, is one of a kind female-led action film, and is apt for a Diwali release. If it is received well, there will be no looking back for women in Indian Cinema. Sohel and Razy are my friends, and we have been planning this project from quite some time. I am quite excited about this film and can`t wait to start work on it." 
 
With machine guns in both hands, Kangana looks nothing less than a daredevil in the first look poster of the film.&nbsp; 
 
The background features a blazing car and fire all around as Kangana gazes at a distance in the side profile shot.

Kangana Ranaut reveals her fierce side in 'Dhaakad'

Busy with back-to-back projects, Kangana Ranaut has opted out of Anurag Basu’s ‘Imali’ that she was supposed to start work on in November 2018.

The film was said to star Kangana with her previous co-star Rajkummar Rao and would have marked her third-time collaboration with the director after ‘Gangster’ and ‘Life in a Metro’.&nbsp;

Speaking on why ‘Imali’ had to be dropped, Kangana said, “Last year, when I announced Panga and Imali together, Anurag Basu’s film was supposed to go on floors in November 2018. But I had to direct and reshoot Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. So, I had to push Imali. I was also meaning to be a director for a while, so I couldn’t have said no to this. Meanwhile, Panga had already started and I couldn’t not do that.”

She currently has ‘Mental Hai Kya’, ‘Panga’ and the recently announced ‘Jayalalithaa biopic’.&nbsp;

On letting the film go she said, “Anurag and I have spoken about it. I feel extremely bad because ‘Imali’ was giving me an opportunity to work with my mentor again, but I’m on the verge of announcing my own film in a few weeks from now. That has taken a lot of my time and I have conveyed it to Anurag, who understood my situation.”

She continued, &nbsp;“We will work together at some point. Imali is a beautiful love story and we can do that later. But right now, my focus is on my next directorial venture because I’ve just delivered a Rs 100-crore film and it’s the right time for me.”

Kangana Ranaut walks out of Anurag Basu's 'Imali', says 'feel bad'

Bollywood’s queen Kangana Ranaut is on her way to become the highest paid female actor of India after she is reportedly offered Rs 24 crore for <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/kangana-to-play-former-tamil-nadu-cm-j-jayalalithaa-in-a-biopic-205030">playing former Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa </a>in an upcoming film based on the Tamil actor-politician’s life.

The film titled ‘Thalaivi’ in Tamil and ‘Jaya’ in Hindi, will be directed by Vijay and written by KV Vijayendra Prasad.

According to a source close to the project, “Kangana is being paid to the tune of Rs 24 crore for the bilingual project, which will be made in Hindi and Tamil. The makers are sure that her star power will help reach a pan-India audience. The producers have already signed a contract with her.”&nbsp;

Kangana’s reported fee of Rs 24 crore surpasses that of Deepika Padukone too, which was touted to be the highest ever paid to an actress, as she took home Rs 13 crore for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’. Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor took home Rs 10 crore for the film.&nbsp;

Among others, Kareena Kapoor Khan is currently charging Rs 10 crore as her fees after the success of ‘Veere Di Wedding’.&nbsp;

Talking about the Jayalalithaa biopic, Kangana told media, “I always wanted to work in regional films because when we go to Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh, we realise that people over there only watch films made by their local film industry. So there is a disconnect with that part of the country. I was waiting for a good opportunity to work over there and this film just came my way.

“I was working on my own biopic, but her (Jayalalithaa) story is very similar to my story. In fact, it is a bigger success story than mine. When I heard the narration of this film, I found many similarities between both the stories. So when I had the option to do a film based on her story or my story, I decided on the former.”

On whether she will learn Tamil for the film, she said: “Yes...Unless I fail miserably and they (the makers of the film) have to look for an option for my dubbing. But I will definitely learn the language.”
