German Actress, Suzanne Bernert, Chosen To Play Sonia Gandhi A  Second Time

The  casting of  “creative director” Hansal Mehta’s The Accidental Prime  Minister the  bio-pic on Manmohan Singh,  just got bigger.

German actress Suzanne Bernert  has been selected  to  play Sonia  Gandhi.

Interestingly Bernert has played  Sonia Gandhi earlier in a television series  for Zee TV  entitled  Pradhamanntri, a semi-fictionalized  account of Indian politics helmed by Shekhar Kapoor.

Bernert has also been a  part  of  many  other Indian films in Hindi, Marathi and  Bengali,  and Indian tv serials too.She had  playedParesh Rawal’s  wife in  the Anees Bazmi directed 2010 comedy  No Problem.She  was  also seen  in  Reema Kagti’s Honeymoon Travels pvt Ltd.

While the  core crew  of The Accidental  Prime Minister in which Anupam Kher plays  the  title role remained tightlipped  about the casting, a member of team spilled the beans. “I think  Ms Bernert’s casting was  to be  kept a  secret for  while. We wanted  to focus on  the  main  cast and keep the  identity  of  the  rest  of the cast away from  the limelight. Ms Bernart was chosen because she can speak Hindi and English and has already shown  her confidence playing Mrs Gandhi before.”
