Congress to adapt Sonia Gandhi autobiography into film with Rs 2 crore funding

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Working President Jagga Reddy unveiled the film adaptation project during a gathering of party workers in Sangareddy on Thursday. The initiative aims to bring Sonia Gandhi's autobiography to the screen, chronicling her significant role in Indian politics over several decades.

Reddy announced that Rs 2 crore has been pledged towards the film's production, signalling the party's commitment to documenting Gandhi's political legacy. The announcement was made at a meeting of Congress party functionaries in the Telangana district.

Sonia Gandhi, who led the Indian National Congress for nearly two decades, has remained a central figure in Indian politics despite stepping down as party president in 2022. The planned film is expected to focus on her journey, influence, and contributions to the Congress party and the broader Indian political landscape.

The project represents the Congress party's effort to preserve and promote the personal and political narrative of one of India's most prominent political leaders through cinema. Further details regarding the film's production timeline, directorial team, and other cast members have not yet been disclosed.
