This is big for Priyanka Chopra. Let’s admit it: the dusky damsel is going places. News is that a two-part film is being made on the life of Indira Gandhi. Initially the uber beautiful and ultra-talented Madhuri Dixit was approached for the part. But after she declined the offer citing her mother-in-law’s illness, the makeup artist on the film, Jenny Shircore, flipped through a lot of stills of Indian film stars and put her finger on Priyanka Chopra.

According to Jenny, Ms Piggy Chops is the one who can resemble Indira Gandhi after some ‘prosthetic touchups’ to her face.

Now pretty Priyanka hasn’t been asked for the part yet, but knowing that names like Tom Hanks, Albert Finney and Emily Watson have been rattled off for some other important characters in the film, chances are that Priyanka will nod in the affirmative as soon as the producers of the film say ‘hello’ to her. If you’ve seen Fashion, you’ll vouch for it.
