So, it is happening after all. Just when India is gearing itself up for the general elections this year, we are getting a biopic based on the current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Vivek Anand Oberoi is playing the main lead of Modiji in the biopic, that is titled PM Narendra Modi and is directed by Omung Kumar of Mary Kom and Sarabjit fame. This is the first time ever in Indian cinema that we are having a film made on a Prime Minister that too, when the said person is in power. Vivek Oberoi is Playing PM Narendra Modi in his Biopic!

On January 7, the makers of PM Narendra Modi have released the first look posters of the film that reveals Vivek Oberoi's look in the film. Looking at these posters, we have to say one thing - Vivek Oberoi is unrecognisable in that white hair and beard. However, that doesn't mean that getup and those khadi clothes make him look anything like Modiji. At least, Anupam Kher's look in The Accidental Prime Minister felt very close to what former PM Dr Manmohan Singh looked. Vivek Oberoi's PM Narendra Modi Biopic: 10 Funniest Reactions on Twitter For The 'Movie of The Year'.
