Mere Pyare Prime Minister trailer Describes sad truth of Urban Poor

NEW DELHI, FEBRUARY 13 -Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directed 'Mere Pyare Prime Minister' trailer is amazing and is touching. It promises to be another masterclass from the legendary director. He is best known for writing and directing Rang De Basanti (2006) and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013). He is the writer and director of the films Aks (2001) and Delhi-6 (2009).

It focuses on the issue of open defecation and sanitation problems in the country.

The trailer begins with the sight of a trio of eight-year-olds walking towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi. The kids, as we find out are looking for 'the prime minister'. The trailer then shifts to their background, growing in a slum in crowded Mumbai. Kanhu and his mother, Sargam (Anjali Patil) manage to eke out a living by doing odd jobs.

Their little happy life comes crashing when Sargam is raped when she is out to defecate at night. This forces Kanhu to write a letter to the prime minister, except it is not as easy to get through to a man running the country.

The trailer is funny, touching, and captures a complex problem through the simple perspective of a child. Atul Kulkarni makes an appearance as the government official who lends these naive kids a helping hand.

The film is produced by Jayantilal Gada's PEN Entertainment and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The film will be out in theatres on 15 March.The film's music is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and lyrics written by Gulzar.
