Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, Takes a Dig at Vivek Oberoi's Portrayal of Narendra Modi in his Biopic and It's a Bit Mean

Vivek Oberoi thinks playing Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his biopic is a role of a lifetime but Twitterati thinks otherwise. The first look of the actor in and as Narendra Modi was unveiled yesterday and it received mixed reactions. Yes, the look wasn't really similar to honourable PM but we can always wait for the makers to present their version and then debate on good or bad, right? However, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah is pretty disappointed with Vivek being the choice to play PM on the silver screen and his recent tweet is a proof of it. Vivek Oberoi to Play Narendra Modi in Biopic, to Be Helmed by Mary Kom Director Omung Kumar.

While taking a dig is almost a ritual now, seems like Omar Abdullah was in no mood to calm down and let it go. The popular politician in his tweet to mock Vivek wrote Life is unfair Dr Manmohan Singh got someone of the calibre of Anupam Kher. Poor Modi Ji has to settle for Vivek Oberoi. Salman Khan hota toh kya maza aata. While we understand he'd expect us to take things with a pinch of salt but as an artist, it's slightly demotivating and we wonder if Vivek would be offended by his mean words. PM Narendra Modi Biopic First Look: Vivek Anand Oberoi Is Unrecognisable As Modiji - View Pics.

Meanwhile, the producer of Narendra Modi biopic are quite impressed with the actor and think he's the apt choice to play the part. His dedication towards his profession coupled with his 18-year long experience in the industry makes him the ideal choice to play such a vital role. We'd definitely wait for the film to hit the big screens and then pass judgement.
