There’s a lot of buzz around the upcoming biopic on India’s current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is being directed by Omung Kumar and features Vivek Anand Oberoi in the lead. BT has learnt that actor Darshan Kumaar has been roped in to play a popular television anchor. Sources reveal that actor has gone through several look tests and the makers of the film are currently in negotiation with the senior, seeking his approval for the role. Darshan has worked with director Omung before in his films Mary Kom and Sarbjit. We reached out to the actor, but there was no reply at the time of going to press.

Off late, actors like Manoj Joshi, Suresh Oberoi, Zarina Wahab and Barkha Bisht have also been cast in important roles in the movie, which is expected to release later this year.
