As controversy erupted over the forth coming film The Accidental Prime Minister, a biopic on former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, lead actor of the movie
Anupam Kher said that after certification of a film by the censor board, nobody has the right to ask for showing the film before its release.
Satyajeet Tambe Patil, President of the Maharashtra State Youth Congress, sent a letter to the producer of the film demanding a special screening before it is released. He raised objections to “incorrect presentation of the facts” in the film.
Kher, who is narrating the character of Singh, said, “It's nobody's right to ask us to show our film to them before releasing it. The film is based on the book (by the same title), and it is based on facts.
