While Anupam Kher will be seen playing the lead role of former Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh in The Accidental Prime Minister Akshaye Khanna has been roped in to play Sanjaya Baru. For those unaware, Sanjaya Baru was the media advisor and chief spokesperson of then PM Dr. Manmohan Singh, who courted controversy when he wrote the memoir, The Accidental Prime Minister. Akshaye, who was last seen in the Sridevi starrer Mom said that he was absolutely “thrilled and excited to be a part of a venture” calling it a game changer at many levels. 

Anupam Kher wrapped up the Delhi schedule of the much-anticipated film 'The Accidental Prime Minister' and is now "looking forward" to the last schedule. The 63-year-old, who will be seen as former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the film, took to social media to share a picture with "the brilliant" Akshaye Khanna.

In the caption, Kher thanked Delhi for the "love, warmth and support" and also described his experience of working with the 'Dishoom' star.

"Delhi schedule of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister comes to an end. Thank you Delhi for your love, warmth and support. It was a delightful experience to work with some amazing actors from this city," he wrote.

"And it is a sheer joy to be acting with the brilliant #AkshayeKhanna who plays author #SanjayBaru in the film. Akshaye not only is a phenomenal actor, he has also helped me bring out my best as #DrManmohanSingh. Looking forward to the last schedule of the film," added Kher.

Recently, Anupam Kher introduced reel life LK Advani and Lalu Prasad Yadav.
