Jagmohan Mundhra's awaited approval from Sonia Gandhi for making movie on Rajiv Gandhi and her love life in UK as well as India has come true.
"I have already shared with Soniaji all the research that I have done on her. She has given me the go-ahead but asked me to hold on until the the next general elections are out of the way," Mundhra said.
The film is scheduled to roll in 2009, he said.
Mundhra's plans to film the real life story about how the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Maino first met in England as students were stalled last year amid protests by a section of the Congress party.
"All that has now been sorted out," said the filmmaker, who is in the Cannes Film Market this year with "Shoot on Sight", yet another film inspired by actual events.
Mundhra is planning to take Monica Bellucci for playing Sonia Gandhi's role.
