Shatrughan Sinha To Play Narendra Modi

Shatrughan Sinha   is all set to play Narendra Modi in a  bio-pic that will go on the  floors  later this year.

And here’s how it happened.

Earlier this week Shatrughan Sinha  was honoured in London  by Keith Vaz the MP from the British Labour Party. During a  q-and-a session after being honoured Shatrughan Sinha was asked which distinguished Indian he  would like to play on screen.

“Narendra  Modi,” came the prompt answer.

Says Shatrughan Sinha, “Yes ,I am here in London. Keith and the Indian community in London wanted to honour me.I couldn’t say no. This was  a  huge  and humbling honour coming from my brothers and  sisters  on British  soil.”

 About  expressing  a desire to  play the  Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sinha  says with an affectionate laugh, “He is indeed  our most dynamic action hero. I always called him that. And  who wouldn’t want to play him in a film? I  am very excited at  the  prospect and  look forward  to  doing  full justice to  it.”

The Modi bio-pic will be produced  by Sheetal Talwar who is  currently  producing a  slew of Indo-British productions . Sheetal’s very talented director wife Bhavna Talwar would direct  the  Narendra  Modi bi-pic.

Bhavna Talwar’s Pankaj Kapoor-helmed film Dharm on religious tolerance in 2008 had been warmly received.
