Mumbai . The film 'The Accidental Prime Minister' was released in 2019. The character of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was played by Anupam Kher. Kher is saddened by the demise of the former PM. He shared his ordeal through a video message. Described him as a humble economist and an honest person.
In the video shared, the actor was seen saying, “I am out of the country right now and I got this sad news. I have spent about one and a half years with his life, when an actor plays a character, he not only studies the external things of that person, but also looks inside that person. Manmohan Singh was an amazing personality.”
Kher further said, “I had refused to do this film due to some reasons. Political reasons were also included in this. I thought that people would think that I have made this film to make fun of them, some people also said this. But if I am asked to choose 3 or 4 great characters in my life, one of them will be the character of Manmohan Singh ji.”
Kher wrote a long text along with this video message. In which he said, “Very sad to know about the demise of former Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh! After studying his life for over a year for the film 'The Accidental Prime Minister', I felt I had really spent a lot of time with him. He was a good person by nature. He was completely honest, a great economist and a very humble person. Some might say he was not a shrewd politician! My heartfelt condolences to his family. Om Shanti.”
An old video of actor Anupam Kher, who played the role of former Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh on screen, is also going viral on social media. In which he had mentioned the challenges related to this character.
