The film, incidentally, is set in 1984, the year that saw Operation Bluestar as well as Mrs Gandhi's assassination.&nbsp;"The film is about a hijack that took place during Mrs Gandhi's tenure," the actress said, describing the outline of the plot.
"Given the dramatic events that were unfolding, she was extremely centred. It was important therefore to portray her in that way. As a result, a lot of homework and research went into the role. It was an opportunity I am very thankful for."
