Shreyas Talpade's first look as Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee from Kangana Ranaut's Emergency is out and fans think it's wrong casting. He doesn't look convincing enough.
Shreyas Talpade is an impeccable actor but when it comes to portraying a real-life character on screen, people expect the looks to match to a great extent. When the first look of the actor as Former Prime Minister Of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee from Kangana Ranaut's Emergency - a film based on Indira Gandhi - was unveiled - fans said it was wrong casting as he didn't look convincing enough in the role.

Fans are not convinced. While some say it's a wrong casting, others think he looks more like Ex-General Secretary of the Indian National Congress party's All India Congress Committee Digvijaya Singh or 18th Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath.

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.
Wrong casting for ABV. Doesn't have same looks or personality. Or even hindi accent. Someone from North india would have been better.

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.
A movie is coming which is based on the life and work of shree atal ji.. I'm really happy to see this movie. This one is going to be fantastic. #ATAL pic.twitter.com/FhrZKgMMro

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.
