Gurinder Chadha who has made films like Bend it Like Bekham and Bride and Prejudice will be making movie on India's last viceroy- Lord Mountbatten. Earlier this movie was shelved halfway because of opposition from Congress party... Hugh Grant was to play Lord Mountbatten and Cate Blanchett as Edwina Mountbatten and Irfan Khan as Jawaharlal Nehru. She met PM Narendra Modi to discuss about it onThursday.
The controversial part of movie is not just Edwina-Jawaharlal Nehru Love Affair but rumors are Lord Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru too had something going.
Text from Nehru's letters to Edwina:
'Suddenly I realised (and perhaps you also did) that there was a deeper attachment between us, that some uncontrollable force, of which I was dimly aware, drew us to one another.
'I was overwhelmed and at the same time exhilarated by this new discovery. We talked more intimately as if some veil had been removed and we could look into each other's eyes without fear or embarrassment.'
Lord Mountbatten explains his married life as: "Edwina and I spent all our married lives getting into other people's beds" 😆
Will it be made this time?😕
