After The Accidental Prime Minister, a film on PM Narendra Modi to go on floors with Vivek Oberoi in the lead?
After the much controversial trailer release of The Accidental Prime Minister, another political drama is being speculated to go on floors next month. Following Balasaheb Thackeray and former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh, the politician next-in-line based on whom a Bollywood biopic is to be made is none another than PM Narendra Modi.
And to play his role, Krrish 3 actor Vivek Oberoi is reportedly being considered. Latest media reports are suggesting that Omung Kumar, who has previously directed Mary Kom and Sarbjit, also biopics, is now keen on exploring the story.
Our honourable prime minister who has actually had some really humble beginnings in his life, from being a tea vendor in his early days to becoming the face of world's largest democracy, definitely has a story worth sharing with the world. Given the amount of his fan following, the movie is bound to be a commercial success at the time it is actually released.
According to a report published in Bollywood Hungama, the Saathiya actor would be using his full name - Vivekanand Oberoi in the credits for the movie. The project, as per sources, is to be shot extensively across different parts of the country - from Modi's hometown in Gujarat to Delhi, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
Vivek Oberoi, at present, is busy experimenting in the South cinema industry. He was last seen in Kannada movie Commando and the Tamil movie Vivegam. He would next be seen in the Malayalam movie Lucifer and Vinaya Vidheya Rama, a Telugu movie.
