I Will Make a Film Based on Sonia Gandhi’s Autobiography - Jagga Reddy

TPCC Working President Jagga Reddy has announced plans to make a Telugu film based on Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s book, Belonging: A Journey of Love, depicting her personal life and political journey. Speaking at a meeting of Congress leaders and workers in Sangareddy, he proposed that party leaders and workers from the constituency take responsibility for producing the film. He suggested forming a 50-member committee to oversee the project, with Gandhi Bhavan PRO Hariprasad supervising its activities. During the meeting, Sangareddy constituency Congress convenor Julakanti Anjaneyulu pledged ₹2 crore towards the film’s production. Jagga Reddy urged other leaders and workers to contribute funds, saying that a suitable budget would be arranged and an experienced director selected. He also said copies of Sonia Gandhi’s book would be distributed among party workers to help them understand her life and political journey.

Jagga Reddy said the film would cover different phases of Sonia Gandhi’s life, from her family background and marriage to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to her role as the mother of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, along with her entry into politics. It would also portray the challenges faced by the family following the assassinations of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, and Sonia’s subsequent political journey. He praised her understanding of the Congress party’s political system and highlighted her decision to decline the Prime Minister’s post after the UPA came to power, paving the way for Manmohan Singh to become Prime Minister. Jagga Reddy also credited the ideas of Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi with contributing to the development of the employment guarantee scheme. He said the film’s shooting would be launched by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud once the necessary arrangements were completed.
