If all goes as planned then this talented beauty will play one of the prestigious roles of her career.

Hot buzz is that Priyanka Chopra has been considered for a biopic project, where she will don the role of India’s first women Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. Earlier we had mentioned that Madhuri Dixit was first approached for the role. However, now due to personal reasons the actress declined the offer and the role eventually went to Priyanka.

Titled ‘Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story’, the film will be directed by Krishna Shah and said to include Hollywood technicians and make-up artists like Jenny Shircore. An Academy Award winner, Jenny is noted for her in ‘Elizabeth’ and it was she who suggested the filmmaker to consider Priyanka, as she believed that the actress has a face that can be matched with Indira’s after a bit of prosthetic work.

Meanwhile Shah is said to be also considering actors like Albert Finney, Emily Watson, Tom Hanks and Tommy Lee Jones to play other characters in the film.

According to sources, the film will present facts from the personal tapes of former US president Richard Nixon on the 1971 Bangladesh War. While the first part of the movie will reflect Indira Gandhi's life till the 1971 war, the second part will showcase more of her personal life as a mother to renowned her sons - Rajiv and Sanjay Gandhi.

What will happen next….? We just have to play the wait and watch game…..
