HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Aishwarya Rai as Sonia Gandhi?03rd Feb 2006 09.16 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau If things go as planned, you may see the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai play the lead role of Congress President Sonia Gandhi in a film which may have Abhishek Bachchan as Rajiv Gandhi. We told you in September that Italian actress and Hollywood stunner Monica Bellucci is being considered to play the lead role of Sonia. 
But the London-based producer of that film Dr. J. Murli Manohar wants to opt for his perennial favourite Ash who has done the producer's ‘Jeans’ and now Provoked , and can get as Italian in looks as it gets. "We aren't looking at the politics of Sonia Gandhi. We want to make the film on the woman not the politician. Jag wants the film to reflect one catch-line.. She came for the love of her life. She stayed for the love of her land," he said. "We've bought the rights of Rashid Kidwai's biography on Sonia Gandhi," revealed Dr. Murli. "The script is being readied. Jagmohan Mundhra was supposed to direct this film before ‘Provoked’. But we thought doing Provoked would bring Jag to a new level in his career and prepare audiences to see him handle a subject as sensitive and epic as Sonia Gandhi." Dr. Murli added, "Jagmohan Mundhra is of the opinion that we should have an authentic international face to play Sonia. He has spoken to Carla Gugino, the actress from Spy Kids 2. He has also spoken to Preity Zinta in India." But the question is after two true-life characters Umrao Jaan and Gayatri Devi will Ash play Sonia Gandhi in the biographical epic on the Congress diva?
