Jagga Reddy suggested forming a 50-member committee to initiate film production, to be overseen by Gandhi Bhavan Public Relations Officer Hariprasad. He made the announcement during a Congress party workers’ meeting in Sangareddy, where he urged party leaders and workers from the Sangareddy constituency to come forward and contribute towards the production of the film. He called upon party leaders to arrange funds, telling the workers, “You spend on elections, right? Consider this a similar expense. Let’s mobilise the budget and select a good director. He added that once the preparations were complete, they would invite Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud to launch the film’s shooting. Jagga Reddy stated that the film would portray various phases of Sonia Gandhi’s life, including her roles as Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law, Rajiv Gandhi’s wife, and the mother of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
Jagga Reddy also said that copies of Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography would be ordered and distributed among party workers to help them gain a deeper understanding of her life and experiences.
