‘Mary Kom’ director Omung Kumar is all set to present his upcoming film ‘PM Narendra Modi‘, a biopic based on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s life. After unveiling several posters of the film, on March 21 the makers of this biopic released its trailer. Soon after the trailer was out, netizens called out Javed Akhtar (who often criticises PM Modi) for being a part of this project.
