While The Accidental Prime Minister is in the grip of controversy, Anupam Kher who essays the role of the former PM Manmohan Singh took to social media to share a video of how the interior of the Prime Minister’s Office was built in Borough in North England.
The actor gave netizens a glimpse into the making of the film.
Meanwhile, a petition seeking a ban on the trailer of the movie was filed in the Delhi High Court on 5 January, as per an IANS report.
"The film producers had no authority to violate the mandate of the Constitution of India which provides respect towards constitutional functionaries...It seems filmmakers and producers have made an attempt to make commercial gains. The acts of impersonation have been committed deliberately to defame the office of the Prime Minister to hype the excitement among the prospective viewers," the petition said.
