Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification, Pahlaj Nihalani, added, “I can’t think of anyone better to play our Prime Minster than Akshay. He has a spotless image of an idealist and visionary. And look at the kind of work he’s doing. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Padman are the cinema of social reform that Guru Dutt and V Shantaram were associated with. Also, Akshay has risen from humble working class beginnings to become a national star, just like Modiji. We are certainly looking at a strong possibility of Akshay playing Modiji.”
Well, Akshay is the first choice of every person from BJP. Actor and BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha also thinks that Akshay will be the right choice to play PM Modi. He told the daily, “Akshay is the Mr Clean of India. His image goes well with the image of the New Shining India.”
