Acclaimed film maker Krishna Shah, who has films like Shalimar, Hard Rock Zombies, American Drive-In and Cinema Cinema to his credit, will soon make a film based on the late Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi’s life. Shah had been penning the script of Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story for over two decades now and he feels it is the right time to bring it live on screen.

Noted Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit has been signed up to play Indira Gandhi in Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story. The Variety magazine reported that the film will hit the marquee in 2011.
