The Madhya Pradesh government on Friday dismissed reports claiming it has banned The Accidental Prime Minister, a film about Manmohan Singh’s tenure as prime minister between 2004 and 2014. The “news is wrong and misleading”, the state Department of Public Relations said on Twitter.
The Accidental Prime Minister features actor Anupam Kher as Manmohan Singh. The movie is based on Sanjaya Baru’s 2014 memoir of the same name and details Singh’s relationship with the Congress party’s Gandhi family.
