Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher has wrapped up shooting of “The Accidental Prime Minister” that is based on former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and says history will not misjudge the Congress leader.
Anupam Friday shared a video, where he is seen donning Singh’s looks which are simply spellbinding. He is seen holding the film’s clapboard and called it a wrap talking about his ‘experiences and outlook’ that changed through the shooting process especially for Dr. Manmohan Singh. He announces that the last shot of the film was taken at 2.40 a.m. on October 27.

“It is a wrap for one of my most cherished films ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’. Thank you…for the most enriching times. Thank you Dr Manmohan SinghJi for your journey,” the actor said, who kind of walked in the former Prime Minister’s shoes.
Anupam says it has been “a great learning experience.” “One thing is sure ‘history will not misjudge you’,” he added.
He also shared a photograph with actress Suzanne Bernert, who is essaying the role of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi in the film.
On the last day shoot of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister someone shoots a off camera moment between @suzannebernert playing #MrsSoniaGandhi & I having tea & biscuits. Shares it on social media. It is already on tv now. Best option is to share it myself. So here it is. Enjoy.😊🤓👇 pic.twitter.com/HVs0YR0yxQ
