Earlier today, we came across the news of Maharashtra Youth Congress objecting to the film. They want to ensure that there is no factually incorrect scenes in the film and hence have demanded a prior screening of the film.

According to a report in ANI, Amrish Pandey the president of the Youth Congress said, “Our Maharashtra unit has asked the filmmakers to hold a special screening for the party before the movie is released. If they do not hold the screening, we will move court.”

Now reacting to the objection of the Youth Congress, actor Anupam Kher told ANI, the President of Indian National Congress, Rahul Gandhi had spoken about the freedom of expression so he should scold his party members for going against it.

You can read his statement in the following post shared by ANI.

Directed by Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ is written by Mayank Tewari. The film is based on the memoir of the same name written by Sanjaya Baru.

Also starring Akshaye Khanna, Aahana Kumra and Suzanne Bernert, the film is scheduled to hit the silver screens on January 11, 2019.
