Anupam Kher: Manmohan Singh would thank me for portraying him brilliantly on-screen

Anupam Kher, who is all set to portray the character of the man who introduced LPG in India, Manmohan Singh, in his upcoming film ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, says the film will immortalise the former Prime Minister of India in a good way.

Talking to the leading daily DNA, Anupam opened about the politician he admires the most and his thoughts about Manmohan Singh. The 63-year-old actor said, “Dr Singh was India’s Prime Minister for 10 years and everybody knows him. It makes my job extremely difficult as an artist, but that’s the joy of it.” 

Introducing the entire political cast of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister. The first of its kind motion picture from India. There are so many people behind our passionate effort. But our director @vijay.gutte has really worked hard. Hope you love our labour of love.?? @tapmofficial #RealeasingOn21StDec

Kher believes that his film will for sure immortalise the former PM in a good way and post watching the film, Manmohan Singh himself would wish to meet him and thank him for portraying him so brilliantly on-screen. Revealing the politician he looks up to, Anupam said he has always been an ardent admirer of Narendra Modi, but also stated, “I’m a professional actor and I don’t bring my personal viewpoints to work. Otherwise, I would not have been able to do so many roles. I admire Mr Modi, but that does not mean I don’t like Dr Singh.”

Coming to his film ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, it is being directed by Vijay Ratnakar Gutte and also features Akshaye Khanna, Suzanne Bernert, Aahana Kumra and others. Produced by Bohra Bros, the film is slated to release on December 21, 2018 and will clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero’.
