Veteran actor Anupam Kher is all set to release his latest movie, The Accidental Prime Minister. Ahead of its big screen release, the actor recently spoke about politics, his portrayal of former Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh and mostly about his wish to see the movie nominated for the Oscars.
According to reports, the 63-year-old actor said, “For how long can we keep selling the poverty of India, the backwardness of India, the backward class of India, the class distinction in India, the elephants in India, the monkeys in India?"
"This is a movie which talks about modern Indian politics, made with an amazing amount of brilliance by the directors and the producers and the cast is phenomenal. We should send this kind of movie for Oscars,” he added.
The Accidental Prime Minister is based on Sanjay Baru’s (media advisor to Dr Manmohan Singh) book of the same name. The movie, directed by Vijay Gutte is slated to release on January 11, 2019.
