Talking about the film, Akshaye Says,
“This movie has been a different experience as for the first time I was narrating the film on screen. I am the only person who is not a politician or a bureaucrat in the film. My character was given the luxury of being creative which helped me to act and portray it freely.’’
In an illustrious career, Khanna has donned several hats and he feels that this role has been the most challenging for him. He adds,
“This has been a huge project for every one of us, people are keen to know what was happening inside the Prime Minister’s office during the UPA 1 and 2. Dr. Manmohan Singh is one of the most respected Prime Minister and it was important for us to maintain his dignity and integrity throughout. We’ve just followed the facts that are mentioned in the book.’’
The actor further adds,
“I am thrilled and excited to be a part of a venture that will be path-breaking and a game-changer at many levels. The Accidental Prime Minister will open flood gates to courageous political cinema in India.”
