Paresh Rawal: It will be challenging to play Narendra Modi in his biopic

Paresh Rawal will play an uninvited (and annoying) guest in his upcoming release ‘Guest Iin London’. But the focus has now shifted to his forthcoming film; a biopic on PM Narendra Modi wherein the titular role will be essayed by Rawal.

As he sat down for a conversation regarding ‘Guest Iin London’ with the press, he pleaded that the conversation be limited to this film only. But there’s no way journalists wouldn’t question about him Modi biopic and also about his recent tiff with author Arundhati Roy for which he even received a warning from Twitter.

When asked if playing Modi would be a challenge, Rawal immediately agreed.

“It will be very challenging. You have to go beyond that (mimicry). If I have to mimic Modi ji, then there are many people (who can do that). There’s no mimicry here that’s why it is difficult. Right now, I am meeting him, seeing him but then there is a preparation which happens when you detach yourself. You can’t prepare by just seeing,” he said.

And will the infamous chapter of Gujarat riot be also included?

“Everything will be there. The notion that people have… The people, who are roaming around acting as judiciary, their notion will also be tackled,” the veteran actor answered.

Okay then!
