Modi Biopic to Release on 11 April in 38 Countries
The timing of the film has come under the scanner from all of the BJP’s adversaries.
Amid reports that PM Narendra Modi, a biopic on the prime minister starring Vivek Oberoi, has been postponed indefinitely, director Omung Kumar announced that the film will release on 11 April. Producer Anand Pandit plans on releasing the film in 38 countries, including US, UK, Canada, Australia and the UAE.
Incidentally, 11 April is the first day of polling for 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Oberoi, too, took to Twitter to thank everyone for their support.
Earlier, producer Sandip SSingh had tweeted that the movie will not hit the theatres on 5 April.
The Supreme Court on Thursday, 4 April, has agreed to hear a fresh petition seeking direction to defer the release of biopic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 April. Congress leader and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi mentioned the matter for urgent hearing before a bench headed by Justice SA Bobde.
