Stating that he would not seek funds from outsiders, the former Sangareddy MLA said that leaders and cadres from Sangareddy would fund the movie production. Enquiring about the leaders’ spending during municipal and other local body elections, he called upon financially well-off Congress leaders to fund the movie.

He said that he would constitute a team to mobilise funds among party members. Reddy clarified that they would launch the movie production in the presence of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and PCC president B Mahesh Goud.

Clarifying that he would initially make the movie in Telugu, Reddy said the aim was to take Sonia Gandhi’s story to people at the grassroots level. He said they would depict her roles as the daughter-in-law of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, wife of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, and mother of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, based on the book.
