On the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, a new film titled Maa Vande was announced on Wednesday. Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan, who recently made waves with his film Marco, will be portraying the role of the Prime Minister.

According to reports, the film is a biopic on Narendra Modi, tracing his journey from humble beginnings to becoming the leader of the nation. It will also highlight his bond with his mother, Smt. Heeraben Modi, along with the personal struggles he overcame.

Unni Mukundan took to Instagram to share the first-look poster of the film and wrote: “I am humbled to share that I will be portraying the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi ji, in the upcoming film Maa Vande, directed by @kranthikumarch.”

He further added: “Having grown up in Ahmedabad, I first knew him as my Chief Minister during my childhood. Years later, in April 2023, I had the privilege of meeting him in person, a moment that left an indelible mark on me. As an actor, stepping into this role is overwhelming yet deeply inspiring. His political journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, but in this film, we aim to explore the man beyond the statesman, especially his profound bond with his mother, who shaped his character and spirit.”
