I Want Shabana & Anupam For Indira Gandhi & Pandit Nehru’s Roles: Karanvir Bohra

Karanvir Bohra will play Rajiv Gandhi in the upcoming short film Ijazat, which is also being produced by the TV star.

The film which revolves around the love story of the political leaders will star Priya Banerjee (who was last seen in Jazbaa) as Sonia Gandhi.

Not focusing on their political careers, Ijazat will look simply at their love story, from their days spent as college students in the United Kingdom to the moment when Sonia Maino became Mrs Gandhi.

Naturally, Indira Gandhi as well as India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, are crucial characters in Ijazat.

And SpotboyE.com can tell you that Karanvir has a wishlist in mind for those roles.

“I want strong actors for the roles as they will be pivotal to the film. Shabana Azmi will be perfect as Indiraji. Anupam Kher will be a good fit to play Pandit Nehru,” Karanvir told us.

One of the most crucial scenes in the film is the moment when Rajiv confesses his love for Sonia to Indira Gandhi and asks for ijazat to marry her.

And Karan is likely to approach the veteran actors soon, so that he can wrap up Ijazat in short time.
