The latest reports doing the rounds are that Preity Zinta is to play Sonia Gandhi in Jagmohan Mundra’s latest venture Sonia. However, nothing has been confirmed. Giving Preity competition for this role is popular Italian actress, Monica Bellucci, who is also a possible contender.
Mundra says that he intends to cover the phase in Sonia Gandhi’s life from 1964-65 to 2005. This movie is base on journalist Rasheed Kidwai’s best selling book Sonia – A Biography. A Britain based company, CEE, has acquired the rights for the film.
