After the launch of 'Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki' in India, 9X will launch a series based on and dedicated to the life of Indira Gandhi.

INX Media founder & CEO Indrani Mukerjea said, "I feel privileged and proud to announce that 9X will bring a major and unprecedented series, Indira Gandhi, to television. It will be based on the story of the iconic, inspirational and extraordinary lady whose fate was entwined with the future of a billion people. The series, which will be shot in Hindi and English, will present the story of Indira Gandhi as a daughter, wife, mother and leader."

Former Member of Parliament, Uttam Singh Pawar, who will be closely associated with the project, said, "I am proud to be closely involved with this project and will extend my complete cooperation and support to 9X for the creation and success of this series, which I believe will be a tribute to the great Indira Gandhi."

The series will follow Gandhi's life as she is transformed from a gifted young girl to the most loved daughter of India - an iconic and inspirational visionary who was destined to give her entire life to the Nation.

The show will launch on 9X UK later this year. A spokesman for the channel said it is in negotiations to launch in the UK near the same time as India, if not simultaneous.
