The first look poster of upcoming biopic PM Narendra Modi with Vivek Oberoi in the title role and _Mary Kom’_s Omung Kumar as the director was released on 7 January. Twitterati has reacted to the poster in which Oberoi sports a prosthetic nose, white hair and rimless glasses.
While most disagreed that the actor only vaguely resembled Modi, some wondered whether it was a spoof.

So, poor Vivek Oberoi is going to act in the last movie (which is bound to flop) of his career.
