MUMBAI: Kareena Kapoor might edge past Priyanka Chopra to play Indira Gandhi in the much-awaited international biopic Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story. The Hollywood producers had initially thought of approaching Priyanka but it seems the Oscar-winning make-up artistes Jenny Shircore and Greg Connam, working closely on the project, are divided in their opinion. They now see that Bebo can look closer to Indira than Priyanka, who was initially thought to have the perfect shape of face. The balance, as of now, has definitely tilted towards Kareena. A source working on the project reveals: “Veteran Hollywood script-writer Krishna Shah, who has also made films for Bollywood like Shalimar, has gone to solve the mystery of which actress can look like Indira to play her on screen. While Shircore — who won the Academy for her work in Elizabeth, had felt that Priyanka is the only actress, Connam — who has worked on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, has now started to think that Kareena is more perfect. As of now, the two are seriously looking over Kareena's features for a near match before they approach her.”
