Congress leader plans Telugu film on Sonia Gandhi’s life
Telangana Congress leader Jagga Reddy plans a Telugu film about Sonia Gandhi and her political journey.
The film would be based on Gandhi’s autobiography, *Belonging: A Journey of Love*.
A local Congress convenor pledged ₹2 crore towards producing it, and Reddy urged party members to contribute as well.
The proposed film would cover Gandhi’s family life, political career and the tragedies she faced.
It would also tell how she declined the prime minister’s post in 2004, allowing Manmohan Singh to take the role.
Reddy said the story should reach younger generations and suggested forming a committee to begin production.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and state Congress president Mahesh Kumar Goud may be invited to launch filming once plans are finalised.
