The 48-year-old-director took to Twitter and shared the first look of his passion project 'Indu Sarkar,' based on the time of Emergency.
He captioned the photo, "#1stlook of #InduSarkar. Thank you to @kulharikirti for working so hard for my character & getting it so vibrantly alive on screen."
In the photo, 'PINK' fame Kirti Kulhari can be seen bruised and sporting an intense look.
Recently, it was confirmed that Neil Nitin Mukesh would essay the role of Sanjay Gandhi in the film.
The movie will be based on a 21-month long period from 1975 to 1977, when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi unilaterally had a state of emergency declared across the country.
Music composers Anu Malik and Bappi Lahiri have also joined hands, for the first time, to create music for 'Indu Sarkar,' which went on floors in the first week of December.
The flick is slated to release mid 2017.
