Is The Congress Victory Going To help The Manmohan Desai Bio-pic? Release Postponed

 Rahul Gandhi’s triumph  in  the Assembly Elections would have  a  “deep and serious” impact on  the  bio-pic on  ManmohanSingh –The  Accidental  Prime  Minister— that is almost complete.

Apparently the forthcoming  film which  features  Anupam Kher as former  Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would  benefit  immeasurably from the Congress I’s triumph  in  5 North Indian states.

Says a  source from  the film’s team, “We are postponing the release from next Friday to  the first week of March. Post the assembly elections there are seismic changes  in  the country’s political  scenario.  Till  the  other day, there was  no viable opposition  in  the  country. Post  the elections Congress I has emerged as a strong force.   Rahul Gandhi is no longer the brunt of memes and  trolls. Everyone is  taking the Congress I seriously now. Our film is  most certainly going to benefit from the shift  in  the political dynamics.”

A  creative source  from the film’s team reveals  The Accidental  Prime Minister based  on the memoirs  of  political commentator Sanjaya Baru will take  a revisionist  look at the  Prime Minister who scarcely spoke but was  hardly the non-thinking  bloke he was made out to be.

“We are  now looking at a much larger release  of the  film.The  mood in  country is  now pro-Congress. By postponing the  film by two months we hope to consolidate interest  in  the story  of Manmohan Singh whose intellectual silences were misunderstood by his opponents.”
