Anupam Kher, Hansal Mehta get into war of words over The Accidental Prime Minister post Manmohan Singh's death

India TV News  

Veteran actor Anupam Kher and filmmaker Hansal Mehta got into a war of words recently over their movie The Accidental Prime Minister after the filmmaker agreed with a journalist that the 2019 political drama was filled with 'lies' about former PM Manmohan Singh. It all started with a post by senior journalist Vir Sanghvi, who on Friday labelled The Accidental Prime Minister, which was based on the memoir of Singh's former media advisor Sanjay Baru, as 'one of the worst Hindi movies ever made'. Featuring Anupam Kher as former PM Singh and actor Akshaye Khanna as Baru, the movie was directed by Vijay Gutte and depicted political events and decisions during Singh's leadership, focusing on his challenges as the Prime Minister and influence of the Congress party on his administration. Mehta, who also had a cameo appearance as former Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in The Accidental Prime Minister, responded, saying that he always owned up to his mistakes.
