Pahlaj Nihalani has said that the makers of the upcoming Manmohan Singh biopic need to get a No Objection Letter from the former PM. Nihalani said that the movie will not get certification without it.
“The makers of ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, producer Sunil Bohra, would have to get an NOC from Manmohan Singhji, Sonia Gandhiji and all the other real-life politicians who are part of the narrative. This rule applies without fail. There are no exceptions,” Nihalani said.
