Who should play Sonia Gandhi?

Who should play Sonia?

Director Jagmohan Mundhra wants to make a film on Congress president Sonia Gandhi [ Images ].

The film will reportedly begin with her falling in love with Rajiv Gandhi [ Images ] and end after her husband is assassinated and she rises to lead his political party.

The role is a difficult one, and most people believe Mundhra has chosen the stunningly beautiful Italian actress Monica Bellucci [ Images ] (left in top image) for the role.

We remember the gorgeous Ms Bellucci from Giuseppe Tornatore's stunning Malena (where she was every masculine fantasy), Gaspar Noe's shocking Irreversible, Mel Gibson's [ Images ] The Passion Of The Christ, where she played Mary Magdalene, and the Wachowski brother's sequels to The Matrix: Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions.

Monica, who will turn 41 on September 30, is a stunning Italian woman -- she hails from Citta di Castello in Umbria, close to Turin where Sonia Maino was born -- and a terrific actress.

On the other hand, some insiders swear that Mundhra wants Preity Zinta [ Images ], our very own Ms Salaam Namaste [ Images ], to play Sonia.

Who do you think is better for the role -- Monica or Preity? And if not either, which actress do you think fits best in this role? Tell us!
