As the Congress criticised the biopic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as propaganda and termed its impending release during the poll process as a violation of the model code of conduct, film’s producer Sandeep Ssingh said, here on Thursday, there was no political agenda behind the movie.
After the Election Commission (EC) issued a show cause notice to producers of “PM Narendra Modi“, Ssingh, Vivek Oberoi along with his lawyer Hitesh Jain appeared before the poll panel.
“We are in Delhi. We got the notice yesterday (Wednesday). Vivek and I came to Delhi and as asked by the EC met a team. We have submitted the papers as asked by it and are waiting for the reply,” Ssingh told IANS.

“Political parties wanted us to postpone or should not release the film either. We have submitted papers with the proof and documents that it’s nothing like that. There should not be a political agenda behind this. There should be a reason if the movie’s release has to be shifted from April 5 to any other date. Now they will get back to us,” he said.
