Taran also shared a poster of the film featuring Oberoi, bearing an uncanny resemblance to PM Modi. The poster read, “The first movie to release in theatres post lockdown, #BeginAgain.”
In the movie, which was first released on May 24 last year, Oberoi plays the titular role of PM Modi, essaying as many as nine different looks. This is a first for the Vivek who has played a real-life character.
The movie also stars Boman Irani, Manoj Joshi, Prashant Narayanan, Barkha Bisht, Rajendra Gupta and Zarina Wahab.
Produced by Sandip Singh, Anand Pandit and Suresh Oberoi, the biopic showcases PM Modi’s political journey.
