Kolkata: A biopic inspired by the life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi called ‘Ek Aur Naren’ will be made and will feature Gajendra Chauhan, who essayed the role of Yudhishthira in B R Chopra’s mega TV serial on the epic Mahabharat, within the lead position.
Movie director Milan Bhowmik told on Thursday that ‘Ek Aur Naren’ will have two strands in its story – one dealing with the life and work of Swami Vivekanada who was born Narendranath Dutta and the other projecting the vision of Narendra Modi.
The director stated the movie encapsulates the lives of two personalities – Vivekananda who spent his life to spread the message of universal brotherhood and the way the Indian culture espoused inclusiveness.
The other personality – Modi who, he stated, has taken India to a new height and is among the most popular icons in the field of politics.
“Both personalities have elevated Bharat to another height globally with their ideologies and service to the people,” he stated.
Chauhan had told reporters recently that there had been discussions in regards to the movie for a very long time with the director.
It was a coincidence that the movie was announced after the notification for election to a number of state assemblies, including West Bengal, was announced, he stated.
The actor stated that he knew Modi personally for 20 years. “I’ll seek to explore the towering personality of Narendra Modi, his way of thinking, his way of interaction with masses, his connect with the people, his beliefs.”
As an artiste it’s a nice opportunity for him to portray such a personality, he stated.
Chauhan shared a picture of the event, where he had dressed up as Modi, on Twitter. He tweeted It is a matter of great honour that I will be playing the role of our honble prime minister in a Hindi film Ek Aur Naren.”
The narration for the movie in Hindi is by Sanjib Tewary. It’s produced by a production house of Kolkata.
Bhowmik had earlier made movies on the brutal Nirbhaya rape and death and on Jan Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mukherjee.
