After the arrival of The Accidental Prime Minister on Dr Manmohan Singh’s life, our current Prime Minister Narendra Modi is getting his own biopic too.
This biopic’s first poster will be released on 7th January 2019 and after much speculation of Paresh Rawal taking up Modi’s role, it will be Vivek Oberoi who is going to star as the Prime Minister.
According to reports, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will be launching the poster in twenty-three different languages.
The film will be directed by Omung Kumar who also directed Mary Kom, Sarbjit and Bhoomi. A source told the Indian Express that,
“The team acquired the necessary permissions to go forth with the film only a few weeks ago. Vivek has been working on his distinct looks and will be part of extensive workshops. A big chunk of the film will be shot in Gujarat, apart from other states.”
Reportedly, the biopic will be about Narendra Modi’s journey as a tea-seller to being the most powerful man in the country. The movie is also expected to be released before the 2019 elections take place.
Twitter had a field day after finding out and here are some of the best reactions.
Is this a coincidence?
