Mumbai: After the trailer launch of Madhur Bhandarkar flick Indu Sarkar, fans have been stunned by Neil Nitin Mukesh’s uncanny resemblance to the late politician Sanjay Gandhi. The actor shared that he was really skeptical of his look and the thought of going bald for the movie scared him.
He said, “We first initially thought that we’ll probably shave off the head and see that if we try and recreate the look. I was ready to do that. Unfortunately, I had commitments of two other films at the same time and I was going to get married too. So I requested sir to do something else. It’s my second film with Madhur so I am very thankful to him.”
The actor also joked that he was really bad in history as a student and this was his chance to go back in time and study something that he wasn’t aware of. He said, “I was really bad in history as a student and it was my chance to go back in time and study something that I wasn’t aware of.”
The movie is based on a 21-month long period, from 1975 to 1977, when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi unilaterally had a state of emergency declared across the country. The movie is slated for a July 28 release.
