Bollywood saw two biopics on political leaders recently — one on the late Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray and the other on former Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh. Now, 2019 we will see a biopic on PM Narendra Modi, in which actor Vivek Anand Oberoi will play the lead.
BT has it that the role of Jashodaben (the PM’s wife) will be essayed by actress Barkha Bisht Sengupta. Confirming the news, Barkha says, “We will be shooting in Ahmedabad for the film, and I have started reading a lot about them (Modi and Jashodaben). The role will be challenging because not much is known about Jashodaben.”
Barkha is not new to Ahmedabad, as her husband, actor Indraneil Sengupta, is from the city. She says, “I have been to Ahmedabad many times. I might have to learn to speak with a Gujarati accent for this role. The character will portray many shades. I am proud to be associated with this biopic.”
