Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar’s Emergency based ‘Indu Sarkar’ is talk of the town with people assuming that the characters are inspires from Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi. Besides, there is one more character inspired from reality, who had a major role to play during the Emergency phase, which was hidden from media.
The role played by Rashmi Jha for the silver screen apparently is inspired by Rukhsana Sultana, who is believed to be Sanjay Gandhi’s ex.
Sultana is actress Amrita Singh’s mother. Sultana gained a lot of popularity while leading Sanjay Gandhi’s sterilization campaign in Delhi’s sensitive Muslim areas during Emergency. And eventually the lady got famous as the ‘Glamour girl of Emergency’.
However, Rashmi who plays her role in the politically ruffled movie is not aware if her character is based on real life people.
Meanwhile, the film cleared CBFC with two cuts. It is all set to release on 28th July.
