The forthcoming biopic of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, titled The Accidental Prime Minister, had courted controversy immediately after the release of its trailer. Now, a case has been filed against actor Anupam Kher and others associated with the project at a Bihar court.
On Wednesday, lawyer Sudhir Kumar Ojha filed the case in Muzaffarpur’s Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court against the crew of the film for ‘damaging the image’ of some ‘top people’. The court has admitted the case and fixed January 8 for hearing in the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate court.
Anupam Kher and Akshay Khanna are playing the roles of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his press advisor Sanjaya Baru respectively in the film. According to Ojha’s petition, the actors have damaged the image of both of them.
