Gandhinagar: Filmmaker Omung Kumar B, who is making a movie on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, visited places in Gujarat where the political leader spent his childhood days.
As “PM Narendra Modi” gets ready to go on the floors, Omung and his team are travelling through the length and breadth of Gujarat to finalise the locations where they will be shooting.
“Omung was seen visiting lanes in Ahmedabad, the houses in Vadnagar where Modiji lived since childhood and the House of MG, a heritage hotel in Ahmedabad,” a source from the production team said.
“He was also seen heading to the famous Modhera Sun Temple, Rani ki vav – a stepwell in the town of Patan in Gujarat, the stone structures in Bhuj and the White Desert. The makers intend to keep the film factually correct in terms of its picturization which is why the places which are very significant to Modiji are being looked at. That is where the shoot will happen,” added the source.
Starring Vivek Oberoi as Modi, the film will be shot in locations across the country as well.
“PM Narendra Modi”, produced by Sandip Ssingh, is a biopic that will narrate the journey of Modi from his humble beginnings to his years as Chief Minister and finally the landmark election of the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and Modi’s elevation as India’s Prime Minister.
NEW DELHI: Veteran actor Anil Kapoor on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and said he was left inspired by their conversation.
“I had the opportunity to meet our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modiji today and I stand humbled and inspired in the wake of our conversation. His vision and his charisma are infectious and I’m grateful for the chance to have witnessed it in person,” Anil tweeted along with photographs of his meeting with Modi.
In the photographs, the “Mr. India” actor is seen greeting the PM.
Last week, film fraternity members like Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal also met Modi in the capital. The agenda was to thank him for reducing the GST on film tickets, and to discuss how the film world can be involved more closely in the process of nation building.
