A fan wrote, "Doesn't have same looks or personality. Or even hindi accent. Someone from North india would have been better."
"Oh, Mr. Vajpayee, what did you do to deserve this," asked another fan in the comments.
Meanwhile, a biopic on late Prime Minister?Atal Bihari Vajpayee is also in the works. The movie by filmmakers Vinod Bhanushali and Sandeep Singh is titled Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye - ATAL.?"The Untold Vajpayee?is one of my most ambitious projects and it gives me a feeling of immense honour and joy to be able to put up this unsung hero onto the big screen. Also, I believe not everyone knows the real side of Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji. While reading this book, I also discovered quite a lot about his personality traits, the work done by him during his tenure as a Prime Minister for our country," Sharma was quoted as saying by IANS.
The casting of the film hasn't been done as of now. The makers are looking for an actor who will fit the role. It is being said that?Pankaj Tripathi is under consideration. They are also scouting for a director.? ?
In Kangana Ranaut's Emergency, the actress plays the lead role of Indira Gandhi herself. When the first look was unveiled, people were bowled over. The audience lauded Kangana for getting the mannerism and voice modulation right.?
On the other side, Anupam Kher is also a part of the project. He will essay the role of Jayaprakash Narayan.
