Akshay Kumar and Prabhas, wished PM Narendra Modi on his 69th birthday with the announcement of a new biopic 'Mann Bairagi,' based on the defining moment of PM's life. “Happy to present the first look of Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Mahaveer Jain’s special feature, #MannBairagi on the defining moment of our PM's life on his birthday,” wrote the 'Mission Mangal' actor.
Prabhas, in turn, wrote, A special film on a special person by a special filmmaker on this special day, Happy Birthday @narendramodi Sir. So happy to present the first look of Sanjay Leela Bhansali & Mahaveer Jain's 'Mann Bairagi', an untold story of our PM, directed by Ssanjay Tripaathy. The film, that is expected to release this winter, is bankrolled by Bhansali and Jain, while Tripaathy has written and directed it. It will be interesting to see, how different this film is going to be from Viveik Oberoi’s 'PM Narendra Modi', that hit the screens on May 24, 2019.
According to makers, 'Mann Bairagi' is based on a turning point in the Prime Minister’s life and is essentially about that defining moment in the life of any great achiever that goes on to shape them, and the world around them. What interested me in the story was its universal appeal and message. The story was very well researched and the turning point of our PM’s life, as a young man, really intrigued me. I felt that it’s a story that is unheard of and needs to be told, Bhansali said.
The film will present lesser-known facts about PM Modi's life, and from the looks of it, it might be available in at least two languages. Surely Tripaathy’s version and approach will be very different from that of Omung Kumar’s in 'PM Narendra Modi.'
