Here’s Why PM Narendra Modi Won’t Watch The Film Based On His Life, Reveals ‘Mann Bairagi’ Co-Producer

On his 69th birthday on Tuesday, the news of a film on the life of PM Narendra Modi took social media and the media by storm, but the film’s co-producer Mahavir Jain has an interesting revelation. Modi ji will not watch the film, he asserts.

“Modi ji doesn’t like to read or watch content about himself. He is happy that we made the film, but he won’t watch it,” Jain said, about “Mann Bairagi” the new special feature that traces a hitherto unknown facet of Prime Minister Modi’s life.

The film is directed by Sanjay Tripathy, who earlier made “Club 60” — one of the last films featuring late Farooq Sheikh.

“‘Mann Bairagi‘ is an an idea that Sanjay Tripathy has been living with for many years. He is an award-winning filmmaker who has made documentaries for the BBC and the Discovery channel. ‘Mann Bairagi‘ is about a moment of revelation in PM Modi’s life that changed the direction of his life.”
