Mumbai: Even as the theatres in Bengal have decided to reopen with Sushant Singh Rajput’s films, cinema halls in the other states will be reopening with Ssandip Singh’s ‘PM Narendra Modi’ on October 15.
Starring Vivek Oberoi in the lead role, Ssandip’s movie is all about the journey of Modi from a common man to being elected as the Prime Minister of India.
‘PM Narendra Modi’ was first released on May 24 last year, but it didn’t do well at the box-office. The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta had given two stars to the film.
Sushant’s producer friend Ssandip feels that the movie didn’t fare well last year because of political agendas. However, he hopes that it will do well this time.
“PM Narendra Modi has been the best Prime Minister of the country, which was proven in the 2019 elections. What can be better than watching the inspiring story of the most inspiring leader of today’s times, as theatres re-open. I’m proud to be a part of this historical moment. Moreover due to some political agendas, when it last released, the film couldn’t be watched by many. We’re hoping the film gets a fresh life in the theatres and makes for a great watch for the people of the nation,” Ssandip was quoted as saying by Indian Express.
Besides Vivek Oberoi, the biopic also stars Boman Irani, Darshan Kumaar, Manoj Joshi, Prashant Narayanan, Zarina Wahab, Barkha Bisht Sengupta, Anjan Shrivastav, Yatin Karyekar, Rajendra Gupta, and Akshat R Saluja in key roles.
Talking about the re-release of the film, director Omung Kumar said, “It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction that the theatres are going to open again and we are re-releasing our film ‘PM Narendra Modi’. We have put in a lot of hard work in making this film and so glad that it will be released again and the people who have missed it will get a chance to see it now. We want each and everyone to see our labour of love.”
