Speaking about his role, Kher had earlier 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 world knows his persona minutely. I have been internalizing this character for the past few months. I look forward to translating that effort into cinematic reality.”

Apart from Kher, the film also stars Akshaye Khanna as the media advisor and chief spokesperson of Dr Manmohan Singh, the role of Sonia Gandhi will be played by Suzanne Bernert and actress Aahana Kumara has been roped in to play Priyanka Gandhi, daughter of Sonia.

Written by Hansal Mehta and Mayank Tewari , the film is produced by Bohra Brothers and it is scheduled to hit the big screen on 21st December 2018.
