In addition to starring, Ranaut will also direct and produce the project. The upcoming film will mark Ranaut’s first solo directorial venture. The actress had earlier been a co-director on the 2019 film, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, in which she also starred.

The upcoming film will reportedly revolve around the Emergency period in the country that took place in the 1970s, under the Indira Gandhi’s government. Ranaut will essay the role of Gandhi in the upcoming film, which is written by Ritesh Shah. The actress had earlier shared a post on her social media handles where she is seen with a team trying to get the late Prime Minister’s look right for the movie.

Meanwhile, Ranaut was last seen in Dhaakad, which was released in theatres on May 20, coinciding with the release of Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Early reports indicate an unsuccessful run for Ranaut’s film at the box office.
