He urged the party leaders and workers of Sangareddy assembly constituency to play an active role in film production and contribute financially. During this, assembly constituency Congress convener Julakanti Anjaneyulu announced Rs 2 crore for the production of the film. After this contribution, there was a discussion within the party to start preparations regarding the film. Jagga Reddy suggested forming a committee of 50 members to take the film production process forward. He told that this entire process will be monitored by Gandhi Bhawan’s Public Relations Officer Hariprasad. Appealing to the party leaders and workers to raise the budget, he said that just as expenditure is made for the party during elections, in the same way financial support should be given to this film considering it an important responsibility.

Journey from Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law to Rahul-Priyanka’s mother
According to Jagga Reddy, different stages of Sonia Gandhi’s life will be shown in this film. In the story, her role as Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law to Rajiv Gandhi’s wife and mother of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi will be given prominence. Apart from this, the sorrows faced by his family, challenges in his personal life and his journey from the time he entered politics till now will also be brought on screen. The film will also show the crisis faced by the Gandhi family after the assassination of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi and the difficult circumstances that Sonia Gandhi had to face. After the assassination of her husband Rajiv Gandhi, her struggle to take up the responsibility of raising children Rahul and Priyanka and keeping the family united will be made an important part of the story. Jagga Reddy said that Sonia Gandhi has created a distinct identity for herself in a country like India with diverse religions, castes and languages.
The decision to reject the post of Prime Minister was described as historic
Referring to Sonia Gandhi’s political career, Jagga Reddy said that she was never interested in the post of Prime Minister. Recalling the political period after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, he said that even when PV Narasimha Rao became the Prime Minister of the country, Sonia Gandhi had not expressed her desire for this post. He also mentioned the developments after the formation of the United Progressive Alliance government in 2004. According to Jagga Reddy, at that time many Congress leaders had requested Sonia Gandhi to become the Prime Minister, but she did not accept the proposal. Instead he decided to make Dr. Manmohan Singh the Prime Minister. Describing this as a historic decision of Indian politics, Jagga Reddy said that this reveals Sonia Gandhi’s political thinking and spirit of sacrifice.
Sonia, Manmohan and Rahul’s thinking behind MNREGA
Referring to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Jagga Reddy said that the ideas of Sonia Gandhi, Dr. Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi played an important role in shaping this scheme. He said that the political system of Congress is as deep as the ocean and Sonia Gandhi has created her own place by understanding this system. He also said that the people of the country once again want to see a leader from the Gandhi family as the Prime Minister. According to Jagga Reddy, Sonia Gandhi wishes to see Rahul Gandhi become the Prime Minister of the country.
CM Revanth Reddy will inaugurate the shooting of the film
Jagga Reddy said that after the initial preparations related to the film production are completed, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud will be invited to launch the shooting. Along with this, there is also a plan to order copies of Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography and distribute it among the party workers, so that they can better understand her life, experiences and political journey. At present, information related to the film’s director, cast and release has not been revealed. However, after this announcement by the Congress leader, discussion has started in political and film circles about a Telugu film to be made on the life of Sonia Gandhi.
