MUMBAI: Veteran actor Anupam Kher has made a stunning confession that he made a mistake in wrongly judging the former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
Kher has wrapped up shooting of “The Accidental Prime Minister” that is based on former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He announces that the last shot of the film was taken at 2.40 a.m. on October 27.
On Friday, he shared a video, where he is seen donning Mr Singh’s looks and holding the film’s clapboard saying history will not misjudge the Congress leader.
“It is a wrap for one of my most cherished films ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’. Thank you…for the most enriching times. Thank you Dr Manmohan SinghJi for your journey,” the actor said, who kind of walked in the former Prime Minister’s shoes.
Mr Kher says it has been “a great learning experience.” “One thing is sure ‘history will not misjudge you’,” he added.
“I did have my reservations before doing this film and also wrongly judged you at times but today after finishing the shoot and having almost lived the role for more than one year i can say it with utmost sincerity that history will not misjudge you. Will wait to have that cup of tea with you once you watch our film. #JoyOfCinema @tapmofficial.”
He also shared a photograph with actress Suzanne Bernert, who is essaying the role of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi in the film.
The film is based on a book by Sanjaya Baru, a former media advisor to Manmohan Singh. Akshaye Khanna features as Baru, and Divya Seth Shah plays Manmohan Singh’s wife Gursharan Kaur in the movie.
It is directed by debutant Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, along with Hansal Mehta as the creative producer.
Scripted by Mayank Tewari and produced by Bohra Bros, the film is slated to release on December 21.
