Madhuri Dixit is all set to play the role of Indira Gandhi in a two-part biopic. The film will be directed by filmmaker Krishna Shah.

According to Variety magazine reports Shah has been writing the script of the film “Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story” for the last 23 years. He plans to bring the film onscreen by the end of 2011. He hopes to begin shooting in April in India and to shoot some parts of the film in the U.S., UK and Russia.

The writer-director said “It’s such an exciting, dramatic story. The canvas of her life is too big to be contained in one film”. Shah further said “It will be in Hinglish”.

According to Shah, the film will have no songs and will be different from Bollywood-style movie.
