Ahmedabad, 24 August 2013

Vadodara-born NRI film producer Mitesh Patel plans to make Rs. 50 crore film on Narendra Modi which is is likely to go on floors this October and will release in January 2014. According to Patel who has produced several Hollywood films through his production company called Applied Art Productions in California, the film will show Modi’s journey from the days when he was working at his father’s tea stall to becoming a Chief Minister.Mitesh has done his applied Arts course from MS University, Vadodara.

Patel met Modi last week and got his approval. Patel is also producing Kamasutra 3D with Sherlyin Chopra in lead role. Patel has made a full-length Hollywood film Man in the Maze in 2011.

Patel has teamed up with noted playwright and TV scriptwriter, Mihir Bhutaand Modi confidant Kishore Makwana.

Paresh Rawal likely to play Modi’s role

Film actor and Modi fan Paresh Rawal who has campaigned for Modi during the 2012 assembly polls was already working on a plan to make a film on Modi through his own production house. However in latest development, Mitesh Patel who also plans to make a film on Modi wants Rawal to play Modi in his film. Rawal is positive, as he thinks that he should not make a film on the same content that clash like it happened in the case of movies on Shahid Bhagat Singh. Rawal says he is keen to do the role of Narendra Modi in any film that comes his way. As Mitesh’s biopic on Modi is taking off before Rawal’s project, Rawal is ready to drop his plan and keen to do a role of Modi in Mitesh’s film.

Paresh Rawal has earlier played a role of Sardar Patel in Ketan Mehta’s film ‘Sardar’. Rawal finds similarities between Sardar and Modi.
