Narendra Modi Lookalike To Play PM In A Kannada Film Based On Demonetisation

Last year MP Ramachandran, a native of Kerala's Kannur district inadvertently created quite a storm on the internet after an image of him at a railway station went viral.

Ramachandran was on his way to Bangalore where he currently lives with his family, after visiting his mother in Kerala, when someone clicked his photo from Payyanur Railway station.?

The image went viral for his uncanny resemblance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Soon the internet was flooded with funny mems, which even landed comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB) got into trouble for their snapchat dog-filter meme.?

Ramachandran, who had to remove his beard to avoid unwanted publicity, has kept a low profile. But he is back in the news and once again it has something to do with his much famous look alike.

This time Ramachandran is actually playing the role of PM, in a Kannada movie based on demonetisation.

The low budget film which was originally scheduled to be released on April 27 has been delayed due to technical reasons.

The film titled Statement 8/11 opens with the Prime Minister's address to the nation on 8/11 when demonetisation was announced.

Ramachandran said, the makers of the film had approached him in October after the photo of him went viral.

Ramachandran, who hasn't made his political leanings clear, however, admitted that the debut film of director Appi Prasad is by a group of youngsters who are sympathetic to PM Modi.
