Veteran actor Anupam Kher has wrapped up shooting of The Accidental Prime Minister, a film that is based on former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In a tweet, he called the film one of his “most cherished” and said that history will not misjudge the Congress leader.
He also shared a video of himself with actress Suzanne Bernert, who is essaying the role of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi in the film.
The film is based on a book by Sanjaya Baru, a former media advisor to Manmohan Singh. Akshaye Khanna features as Baru, and Divya Seth Shah plays Manmohan Singh's wife Gursharan Kaur in the movie.
It is directed by debutant Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, along with Hansal Mehta as the creative producer. Scripted by Mayank Tewari and produced by Bohra Bros, the film is slated to release on 21 December.
