New Delhi, Revelling in the new found glory after making government in three states, Congress is in no mood to take any chance, and especially in the election year. The trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister, based on the eponymous book by former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s media advisor Sanjaya Baru, has sparked a row over alleged distortion of facts. The trailer shows Singh as the victim of the inside politics of the Congress ahead of 2014 general elections, which the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) lost.Maharashtra Youth Congress has raised objections to the “incorrect presentation of the facts”, and demanded a prior screening of the movie and declared that they wouldn’t let the movie be screened anywhere in the country if their demand is not met.

“If the said movie is released without prior screening for our office bearers and without making necessary changes recommended by us that we find out after viewing the movie it will be understood that you are doing this deliberately and we have other options open to stop the screening of the same across India,” Congress said in its letter.Meanwhile, Anupam Kher, who is essaying the role of Singh in the film, said that the movie is going to be a “game changer” in political biopics as it does not shy away from taking real names.Directed by Vijay Gutte, the political drama features Akshaye Khanna as Baru, German actor Suzanne Bernert as Sonia Gandhi, Arjun Mathur as Rahul Gandhi and Aahana Kumra as Priyanka Gandhi.

The movie is raising a lot of curiosity and the characters in the movie have a strong resemblance with the real-life characters. Congress is apprehensive about the movie because it feels the Gandhi family is not shown in a good light and in the election year the release of the movie does not augur well.
