Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will celebrate his 75th birthday tomorrow, September 17. To mark the occasion, a special play reflecting PM Modi’s journey from his humble childhood in Vadnagar to his rise as a global leader is being showcased across Gujarat. On Wednesday, the play will come alive at Soneriya Block Ground in the Saraspur-Bapunagar area of the city.

The live event will feature a mega musical multimedia show with performances by around 150 popular artists, including Sairam Dave. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, state cabinet ministers, and other dignitaries are expected to attend along with a large gathering of citizens.

According to BJP leaders, the play will highlight PM Modi’s journey from his early years to landmark initiatives such as Operation Sindoor. About 450 technicians, alongside the 150 artists, will bring the show to life. The event is expected to draw an estimated 50,000 attendees.

The celebration will feature a massive stage with elaborate props and a visual drone show, including representations of elephants, horses, trains, and crocodiles. For better viewing, seven LED screens have been installed near the Soneriya Block grounds. The multimedia show will last approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes, with entry allowed through passes categorized as Invitee, Platinum, and Gold. Six to seven entry gates will manage the crowd, and arrangements have also been made outside the venue for those unable to enter.
