Ashish Sharma honoured to play young Narendra Modi in web series

Ashish Sharma, who made his Bollywood debut with Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Love Sex Aur Dhoka’ in 2010, will now be seen playing the role of young Narendra Modi in Eros Now’s web series. Sharma is also known for his television appearances in ‘Siya Ke Ram’, ‘Rangrasiya’ and ‘Chandragupta Maurya’.

Speaking about his role, Sharma was quoted as saying by SpotboyE as, “It’s a huge responsibility as I have to take forth a chapter of his life which is not much documented and still needs to be told, because that journey laid the ground of the individual that he is today. I feel extremely responsible and honored at the same time to be portraying one of the most prolific leaders of our time.”

To play the role, Ashish Sharma went to great lengths and made many sacrifices. He even shot in the Himalayas where the temperature was as low as minus 10 degrees. The web series will be directed by Umesh Shukla of ‘Oh My God!’ fame.

Incidentally, Vivek Oberoi is also starring in a Narendra Modi biopic that’ll release just before the Lok Sabha elections. The feature film will be directed by Omung Kumar.
