Vidya Balan opens up about signing Indira Gandhi's biopic

There have been reports that actress Vidya Balan is in talks to play the role of Indira Gandhi in the biopic that is being made on the first female Prime Minister of India. In a recent interview Vidya revealed that though she is keen to do the film, she is waiting for the producers to fulfil all the legalities before she signs the film.

The actress said, "I love doing biopics; be it M.S. Subbulkashmi, Meena Kumari, Indira Gandhi… bring them all! As far as Indira Gandhi is concerned, I would love to play her on-screen. But the only thing is that you need the right permissions to make a film on her.”

Talking about signing the biopic, Vidya further added, “The script is ready, and they’re waiting to make it. But my only condition to them was to get permissions from the family. Then we do it. You know how it is with permissions. Look at M.S. Subbulakshmi; we were almost ready to start and it didn’t happen.”

As per reports, the director Manish Gupta is currently working on sorting out the legalities involved with the project. Vidya Balan is gearing up for the release of her next film, 'Begum Jaan'.
