Friday, 23rd May 2014, 06:00 PM IST Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is said to be gearing up to make a movie on the new prime ministeria ldesignate, Narendra Modi. Madhur has been meeting Modi for quite a while now. A source close to Bhandarkar said, "Madhur has been studying Modi and researching on his life for a long time. He even has a team working on the subject." Bhandarkar has been vocal about his support to Modi in the past few months and has even travelled to cities to ask people to vote for him. He called Modi a 'visionary leader', after a section of the film industry went about urging the masses to vote for a secular leader. He had tweeted earlier, "Let's hope better sense prevails and our film industry elects Narendra Modi with a thumping majority. It's time India got a visionary leader. Launching a personal attack on a man who has done more for his state than any other leader, reeks of conspiracy and unwarranted paranoia." When he was asked about plans to capture Narendra Modi’s life in a movie, Bhandarkar said that NaMo's is a story of triumph, which needs to be told to the world."It is the story of how a common man becomes the Prime Minister of the country." Bhandarkar plans on shooting for the film after completing ‘Calendar Girls’, which will soon go on floors. |
