The makers of Vivek Oberoi-starrer biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the film would be released on May 24, a day after the results of the Lok Sabha elections were declared. The film, ‘PM Narendra Modi’, was earlier scheduled for release on April 11 but was postponed following Election Commission's directive. The EC had banned the screening of the film during the poll period, saying any such film that subserved purpose of any political entity or individual should not be displayed. The EC issued the order a day before the movie was to be released.
Producer Sandip Ssingh said he hoped the film would have a smooth run in the theatres. “As a responsible citizen we respect the law of the country. After a lot of discussions and keeping the curiosity and excitement about the film in mind we have decided to release the film immediately after the Lok Sabha election results,” Ssingh said.
“We are now releasing the film on May 24. This is the first time a film will be promoted for only four days. I hope that nobody has any problem with the film and we are hoping for the smooth release this time,” he added. Directed by Omung Kumar, the film also features Boman Irani, Manoj Joshi, Prashant Narayanan, Zarina Wahab, Barkha Sengupta and Darshan Kumaar. Suresh Oberoi and Anand Pandit are co-producers of the film.
