Lucknow: The ‘mahurat’ clap for ‘India In My Veins’ a biopic on the life and times of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was given by Uttar Pradesh’s law minister Brijesh Pathak at a five-star hotel in Lucknow on Monday.
A major portion of the film will be shot in UP, Haryana and Punjab, Hindustan Times (HT) reported. “The biopic is an attempt to thank PM Modi for the work he has done for the country,” said Subhash Malik, producer-director of the film, was quoted as saying.
“Subhash Malik ji has been in the film industry for 27 years and is the one who this year started a Ramlila in Ayodhya, featuring film stars. He had been planning a biopic on PM Modi for few years. The film will showcase Modi’s achievements since he became Prime Minister in 2014,” the minister was quoted as saying.
The film features Captain (retd) Raj Mathur, Raza Murad, Surendra Pal (of ‘Dronacharya’ fame in the teleserial Mahabharat), Vindu Dara Singh, Amita Nangia and others.
“The film also focuses on the Kashmir issue and how well it was addressed,” actor Raza Murad was quoted as saying by HT.
“My role is full of suspense and can’t be revealed right now,” Amita Nangia was quoted as saying.
