Biopics have become the new subject to make films on. Recently rumours of a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi started doing the rounds. Also it is rumoured that Akshay Kumar will portray him on-screen.
A source from Government NDA stated, "The kind of reach and impact that Akshay Kumar ’s presence will have in a story on Modi would be far-reaching and productive."
CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani in an interview had said, "I can’t think of anyone better to play our Prime Minster than Akshay. He has a spotless image of an idealist and visionary. And look at the kind of work he’s doing. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Padman are the cinema of social reform that Guru Dutt and V Shantaram were associated with. Also, Akshay has risen from humble working class beginnings to become a national star, just like Modiji. We are certainly looking at a strong possibility of Akshay playing Modiji."
But now a source said, "Akshay isn't doing any movie related to Modi. It's a rumour. There is no truth to it."
