Gandhi film to feature Hollywood stars?

Madhuri Dixit may be joined by Hollywood co-stars such as Tom Hanks and Tommy Lee Jones in a planned biopic.

The 43-year-old actress was confirmed last week for the role of Gandhi in the multilingual two-part film titled Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story.

According to New Kerala, industry sources believe that Jones and Hanks could be asked to play parts of US presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.

So far, it has been confirmed that Dharmendra and Abhay Deol will play the roles of Motilal Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi.

The film will depict Gandhi's life up to her assassination in 1984, and is to be shot in three countries including the US, UK, and Russia.
