In an interview with Mirror, Abhishek Sharma revealed how they found the perfect Obama for their upcoming movie. He said “My team got in touch with Iman who’s based in Los Angeles. He flew down to Mumbai and we shot with him on a large set of Abbottabad, recreating the speech and the rap.”
The interview also revealed that Iman has been invited to White House twice. The actor-comedian has met the President, made him smile through his mimicry and received a compliment as the ‘best mimic’. Barack Obama also knows that Iman is playing his character in ‘Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive.’
Iman Crosson, who goes by the name as Alphacat on his Youtube channel, is known for his impersonation of the President.
