The cast also includes  Manoj Joshi as Amit Shah, Prashant Narayanan as a fictitious business tycoon named Aditya Reddy, Zarina Wahab as Modi’s mother and Barkha Bisht Sengupta as Modi’s wife. Boman Irani will also feature in a prominent role. Produced by Sandip Ssingh, PM Narendra Modi is being helmed by Mary Kom director Omung Kumar. In an  interview  with News18, Ssingh described the film as “a story about a human, about achievement, simplicity, about a leader who inspires us, who thought that from a chaiwala, he can become the prime minister,” adding that it is “not a political film,” but an “inspiring” one.
