New Delhi : PM Narendra Modi, a biopic on the life of the current Prime Minister will re-release in cinemas on October 15. This biopic starring Vivek Oberoi in the role of the PM will be the first film to be released in cinemas after lockdown as the Information and Broadcasting Ministry announced the reopening of theatres from this thursday. All cinema halls in the country were closed since March in wake of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The Ministry also issued standard operating procedures (SOPs) that are to be followed by cinema halls before they restart their business.
The producer of the movie, Sandip Singh wrote announcing the re-release date of the biopic, “PM Narendra Modi has been the best Prime minister of the country, which was proven in the 2019 elections. What can be better than watching the inspiring story of the most inspiring leader of today’s times, as theatres re-open.”
“I’m proud to be a part of this historical moment! Moreover, due to some political agendas, when it last released, the film couldn’t be watched by many. We’re hoping the film gets a fresh life in the theatres and makes for a great watch for the people of the nation,” he further said.
The film was initially released on 24 May 2019 and narrates the journey of India’s Prime Minister from his chaiwalla days to him becoming the PM of India. During its initial release, the movie had received a lot of flak for depicting the PM as larger than life and coinciding with the Lok Sabha elections.
