Paresh Rawal confirms his Narendra Modi biopic is also in the pipeline: No one can play him better than me

Paresh Rawal had confirmed last year in June that his biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi would go on floors later in 2018. Now, after the announcement that Vivek Oberoi will slip into the shoes of the PM, Rawal has stated that another film on Modi is in the pipeline, and is still at its scripting stage.

I can do complete justice to the role. However, it’s a free country and even Vivek can play that role. I wish him luck,” he told The Asian Age, adding that they are “also coming out soon”. Talking about his film on Modi, Rawal said that they are planning the movie on a grand scale and it will go on floors only after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Ever since the first look poster of Oberoi-starrer Modi biopic, titled  PM Narendra Modi , released on 7 January, Oberoi has been heavily trolled by Twitterati . Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also took a dig at the biopic, tweeting that Modi was unfortunate to have only managed someone like Oberoi for the role.
