Vivek Oberoi is essaying the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the biopic. About a week back, the makers of the biopic shared the first look poster of the film featuring Vivek as PM Modi. The first poster of the film was launched at an event in Mumbai by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The biopic will be helmed by Omung Kumar, director of some critically acclaimed biopic films including 'Mary Kom' and 'Sarbjit' and is being produced by Sandip Singh.

Reportedly, the film will be shot across Gujarat, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, among other locations in the country, over a period of few months. The film will traverse the journey of PM Modi from his humble beginnings to his years as Chief Minister and finally his landmark election as Prime Minister.
