The biopic is being directed by Omung Kumar who is popular for helming the Mary Kom biopic starring Priyanka Chopra. The biopic is expected to go on floors this month and will be shot extensively in Gujarat. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal was roped in to play the role of Modi, but the actor later backed out due to unknown reasons.
With the Lok Sabha elections drawing close, the makers plan to release the film before the crucial polls which will be seen as a litmus test for PM Modi.
