The Accidental Prime Minister: PCHB, Youth Congress demand private screening before film's official release
FirstpostBoth the associations claim that the trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister portrays Manmohan Singh and the Congress party in a wrong light. Both the Maharashtra State Youth Congress and Punjabi Cultural Heritage Board have sent notices to the producers of The Accidental Prime Minister, demanding that a private screening be held before the official release of the film. Anupam Kher plays former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the biopic based on the book The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh by Sanjay Baru, who was Singh’s media advisor. While both associations asked for a special screening, the Youth Congress President added in his statement that in case the screenings could not be arranged before the official release and the necessary changes were not implemented in the final cut of The Accidental Prime Minister, they would have to hold the makers responsible and stop the screening of the film across India.
