Mumbai, Jan 04: It's raining biopics in Bollywood. After producing former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's life in office on the big screen, another biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been announced. Starring Vivek Oberoi in the lead, the film is being directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Sandeep Singh. Earlier, several reports claimed the announcement but nothing was official.
Film critic Taran Adarsh announced the news on Twitter in a post saying, "IT’S OFFICIAL... Vivekanand Oberoi [Vivek Oberoi] to star in Narendra Modi biopic, titled #PMNarendraModi...

The movie is set to go on floors around mid-January, however, a release date hasn't been finalised yet.
A few days ago, Bollywood Hungama published a report which read that the Saathiya actor would be using his full name - Vivekanand Oberoi in the credits for the movie. The project, as per sources, is to be shot extensively across different parts of the country - from Modi's hometown in Gujarat to Delhi, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
Currently, besides former PM Manmohan Singh, biopics on political leader Balasaheb Thackeray, and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N.T Rama Rao are prepping up to screened soon. The Narendra Modi biopic might show the humble beginnings of dynamic politician who started off as tea vendor to becoming the Prime Minister of the world's largest democratic country.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Vivek was last seen in Kannada movie Commando and Tamil film Vivegam. He would next be seen in the Malayalam movie Lucifer and Vinaya Vidheya Rama, which is a Telugu flick.
