After Madhuri Dixit supported out from the project on individual reasons, Indian origin US filmmaker Krishna Shah is now considering casting Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra in the lead part in a biopic on late pm Indira Gandhi.

Titled Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story, it will be a big-budget two-part movie on the life of the Indian leader who was known as Iron Lady. Shah is working on the casting with Academy Award winning make-up artiste Jenny Shircore.

After going through the photographs of many Indian actresses, Shircore thinks that Priyanka is the only Bollywood actress whom she can make look like Indira Gandhi after several prosthetic focus on her face, Shircore says Priyanka’s face matches that of the late prime minister.

“Yes, I am in conversation with Jenny who thinks that Priyanka is the one who can easily fit in the character of Indira, but it will be too premature to talk about casting as we have not approached any person as yet,” Shah said in a declaration.
