Anupam Kher is one of those few actors who can strongly move us with his stunning acting. There are very few actors who can effortlessly pull off a role and Anupam is surely one of them.
Well, he just got nominated for a BAFTA for ‘The Boy With The Topknot’ and we are totally rooting for his win. In the meantime, the actor has shared the first look from his upcoming movie and we just can’t get over his on-point resemblance with former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh
The filming of the political drama ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, which is based on a book by Sanjaya Baru, has already started in London. And everyone is looking to see how Anupam will don the role of ex-PM and economist Manmohan Singh.
Last year in June, the makers shared the poster of the film that got a massive response from the fans. The black and white poster showed Anupam in white beard and turban. However, the poster also focused on the silhouette of a woman, which looked a lot like former Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
To reinvent yourself as an actor is to challenge yourself. Looking forward to portraying #DrManmohanSingh in #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister.:) pic.twitter.com/PsVdkpjZWY

And now we have got the glimpse of his first look, and we’ve got to agree that he has nailed it. In Manmohan’s trademark blue turban and white kurta, the actor looks like the spitting image of Singh.
The picture brings us three images of him and each one further establishes his character even more. You have a picture of him smiling with folded hands while the other two are of him in office.

Talking about the film Anupam had previously said, “The opportunity of portraying a contemporary personality like Dr. Manmohan Singh in ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ is an immense challenge for me as an actor. He is part of a 24/7 media era where the world knows his persona minutely. I have been internalising this character for the past few months. I look forward to translating that effort into cinematic reality.”
For those who don’t know, Akshaye Khanna is also playing the vital character of former media advisor to Manmohan Singh, Sanjay Baru. The movie is based on his memoir and Akshaye’s look was shared in March which caught all our eyeballs.
