Ever since the trailer release of ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, based on the life of former PM Manmohan Singh, based on a book of the same name written by Sanjaya Baru, Singh’s advisor, the Congress and the BJP have been in loggerheads.
Raising objections to Anupam Kher’s upcoming movie, Maharashtra Youth Congress oThursday demanded prior screening of the movie for the party’s office bearers and declared that they will resort to “other options” to stop the screening of the film if their demand is not met.
In a letter to the makers of the film, the Congress youth wing raised objections to the “incorrect presentation of the facts” and has demanded a special screening of the film to ensure that none of the scenes is factually incorrect.
