Ekta Kapoor announces The People v/s Indira Gandhi, calls the late politician a ‘woman of worth, admiration and critique’

It appears that this show is the next chapter of The Verdict series for the streaming platform. The first chapter of the show streamed in 2019 and followed the Nanavati case. The show was titled The Verdict – State vs Nanavati and it starred Manav Kaul, Sumeet Vyas, Elli AvrRam, Angad Bedi and Kubbra Sait among others.

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut had also recently announced that she will be playing Indira Gandhi in a period film. Kangana had earlier said in a statement, “It is not the biopic of Indira Gandhi. It is a grand period film. To be precise, it is a political drama that will help my generation to understand (the) socio-political landscape of current India.” The film is being helmed by Sai Kabir.

Vidya Balan had previously announced that she was set to play the role of the former PM in a web series but there hasn’t been much development on that front.

Madhur Bhandarkar’s 2017 film Indu Sarkar was set during the Emergency era and generated some controversy from political outfits.
