The film is based on the book The Accidental Prime Minister and it is based on facts. We have bought the rights and have followed all the legalities. Everything was in the public domain... Now, how can people have issues? Why should I screen it for anyone? We have shown it to the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification), that s enough. If Dr. Manmohan Singh asks us, then we will show him for sure."


When reporters asked him that is he doing the film extend to support BJP then he responded "I have done more than 500 films...there are not even that many political parties.

What is the problem in releasing a political film around elections? We do release patriotic films on national holidays.
