Prime Minister Narendra Modi will get a biopic of its own soon. Mollywood actor Unni Mukundan will be essaying the BJP leader in the multi-lingual release.
In recent years, Unni Mukundan's popularity has soared with films like Malikappuram (2022), a mythological drama that became one of his highest-grossing films, and the action-thriller Marco (2024), which further cemented his status as a box office draw.
Unni Mukundan, in the past, has said that he is fond of Modi as someone who grew up in Gujarat. In 2023, he got to meet with the PM and have a discussion for 45 minutes. "This is the most electrifying post from this account! Thank you sir, from seeing you afar as a 14 year old and now finally Meeting you, I am yet to recover! Your, “Kem cho Bhaila” on stage literally shook me up! It was one big dream that I had to meet u & talk to you in Gujarati! (sic)," Unni wrote on X at that time.
It is possible that the biopic has been taking shape for the past more than two years. Narendra Modi having a 45-minute discussion with Unni Mukundan was probably a part of this process.
