The Accidental Prime Minister: Presenting reel life LK Advani and Lalu Prasad Yadav
Veteran actor Anupam Kher who will be seen as former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his upcoming film The Accidental Prime Minister introduced reel life LK Advani and Lalu Prasad Yadav. The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh is the book written by former Prime Minister’s media advisor Sanjay Baru. The producer of the film Sunil Bohra revealed that they have completed the research on the movie and it is going to be bigger than Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi.
Anupam Kher took to Twitter and wrote," Introducing Avtar Sahni as #LKAdvaniJi, Vimal Verma as #LaluPrasadYadavJi and Anil Rastogi as #ShivRajPatilJi.:) #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister @tapmofficial @sunil_s_bohra #VijayGutte.” The Accidental Prime Minister has been making news for the stark resemblance of its characters with their real-life counterparts. Kher, who plays Manmohan, seems to have adopted the mannerisms of the former PM quite well.
Based on the 2014 memoir of the same name, written by Dr Singh's media adviser Sanjay Baru, the film revolves around the life of Dr Singh, the economist and politician who served as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014 under the United Progressive Alliance.
It also features Arjun Mathur and Aahana Kumra as Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi. Suzanne Bernert will portray the role of former Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Directed by debutant Vijay Gutte and written by Hansal Mehta, the flick is set to hit the cinemas on December 21, 2018.
