Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it seems, continues to be popular in Bollywood. After Omung Kumar’s PM Narendra Modi, starring Vivek Oberoi in the lead, another film of the Prime Minister is in the offing. Titled as Mann Bairagi, the film is co produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Based on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s youth, the film will be an hour-long. Its first-look poster was unveiled by actors Prabhas and Akshay Kumar on the PM’s 69th birthday on September 17. It was shared by the actors on their twitter profile also.
The film is written and directed by Sanjay Tripaathy and co-produced by Mahaveer Jain and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Talking about why the film caught his interest, Bhansali said, “The story was very well-researched, and the turning point of our PM’s life as a young man, really intrigued me. I felt that it’s an unheard story which needs to be told.”
Sanjay Tripaathy is confident that the film will strike a chord with the audience across generations. Talking about it he said, “For me, it’s a human interest story about the self-discovery of a person who went on to become such a strong leader of our country.” Co Producer of the film Mahaveer Jain is also confident about the film connecting with the youth. “Mann Bairagi brings out that defining moment in the journey of our PM which has not been in public knowledge so far. I am sure it will connect and inspire today’s youth deeply, and that’s what excited us to work on this film,” he said.
The poster says the film is “coming this winter”, indicating that the film might be released in December.
