Jagga Reddy, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Working President, announced plans for a Telugu feature film based on Sonia Gandhi's autobiography, ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’, during a Congress party workers' meeting in Sangareddy. Reddy urged party leaders and workers from the Sangareddy constituency to contribute to the film's production, emphasizing the need for financial support akin to election expenditures. He proposed forming a 50-member committee to oversee the production, which would be led by Gandhi Bhavan Public Relations Officer Hariprasad.
At the meeting, constituency Congress convenor Julakanti Anjaneyulu pledged Rs 2 crore towards the film's budget. Reddy indicated that the film would cover various significant phases of Sonia Gandhi's life, including her experiences as Indira Gandhi's daughter-in-law, Rajiv Gandhi's wife, and the mother of Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi. He highlighted the personal tragedies the family faced, particularly following the assassinations of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, and how these events shaped Sonia's political journey and identity in India.S1
Reddy also remarked on Sonia Gandhi's lack of ambition for the Prime Minister's position, recalling her decision to decline the role after Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and during the formation of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), when she opted for Manmohan Singh instead. He described this choice as a historic milestone in her political career, reflecting her unique approach to leadership. Furthermore, Reddy noted that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) was influenced by the ideas of Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, and Rahul Gandhi, showcasing her impact on Indian politics.S1
As part of the initiative, Reddy announced plans to distribute copies of Sonia Gandhi's autobiography among party workers to deepen their understanding of her life and political contributions. He expressed confidence that the film would resonate with audiences by portraying the complexities of her journey in a diverse nation. Once preparations are finalized, the film's shooting will be launched with an invitation to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud.S1
