PM Narendra Modi traces Modi’s journey from childhood to becoming the prime minister of India. It has been directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Sandip Ssingh and Suresh Oberoi. It also stars Boman Irani, Darshan Kumaar, Barkha Sengupta and Zarina Wahab.
PM Narendra Modi was originally slated to release on 11 April, a day after the first phase of India’s 2019 Lok Sabha elections were to commence. The Election Commission of India (EC) put a ban on the release of the biopic during poll season on 10 April saying in its order that “any such film that subserves purpose of any political entity or individual should not be displayed in the electronic media.” The makers of PM Narendra Modi subsequently decided to push the release date of the biopic to 24 May.
