The movie traces the journey of Narendra Modi from his humble beginnings to becoming the Prime Minister of India.  The film first released on May 24, 2019. 

Directed by Omung Kumar, the film stars Vivek Anand Oberoi in the title role along with Boman Irani, Darshan Kumaar, Manoj Joshi, Prashant Narayanan, Zarina Wahab, Barkha Bisht Sengupta, Anjan Shrivastav, Yatin Karyekar, Rajendra Gupta, and Akshat R Saluja in pivotal roles.

“PM Narendra Modi has been the best Prime Minister of the country, which was proven in the 2019 elections. What can be better than watching the inspiring story of the most inspiring leader of today’s times, as theatres re-open,” producer Ssandip Singh told the Indian Express about the film’s re-release.

Earlier this week, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar announced the standard operating procedures (SOPs) that cinema halls must put in place before they open on October 15 after seven months of being closed.

The SOPs include one seat distance in theatres, 50 per cent capacity, masks at all time, proper ventilation and air conditioner temperature settings at above 23 degrees Celsius.

It is unlikely there will be any fresh releases immediately. PM Narendra Modi will be the first film to release as theatres reopen.
