A Movie Based on NAMO story now

New Delhi, Aug. 23 -- The biopic is the flavour of the season, and the latest in line is one on a man who hits headlines almost every day. Producer-director Mitesh Patel has confirmed that he is making a film on Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi.
"I'm inspired by Narendra Modi's journey - from a common man who owned a tea stall, to a chief minister. We'll try to cover various parts of his life - his childhood, working as a ground-level RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) member, to becoming the CM," says Patel.
The filmmaker says he recently met Modi to get his consent for the film, which he says, "will not be a biopic per se, but will be based on his life. We'll add fictional elements. The script is not 100% about his life. Technically, we don't need permission, but we sought it as we don't want trouble." Patel is currently scouting for shoot locations in Gujarat.
Does he have a wishlist of actors? "We have some in mind, including Paresh Rawal. All the actors will be from Bollywood," he says.
The filmmaker is originally from Vadodara, Gujarat, and is settled in USA (California). We tried reaching Modi's office through Patel, but he said (on record) that "they don't want to comment on this right now. They might make one when we announce the film with the cast and crew later."
Will one of them play Modi?
Buzz is that the three actors who've met Modi recently may be the preferred contenders for his role in the biopic. Early this month, during the promotions of his recently released film Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobaara in Gujarat, actor Akshay Kumar took time to meet Modi at the latter's office in Gandhinagar. He was joined by actor Paresh Rawal who was also in the city. As per sources, during the interaction, the Gujarat CM and the two actors discussed various steps taken by the Gujarat government to promote the development of sports, as well as overall development of the youth. When asked about the reason for his visit, Akshay said, "It was personal. Main aapko kyon bataoon?"
A couple of months before that, actor John Abraham, too, was seen meeting Modi. John met Modi in April in Gandhinagar. "I've always promoted fitness and wish to establish it as a lifestyle habit. Mr Modi and I talked about propagating fitness and animal welfare in the state as these are two causes that I'm extremely passionate about," the actor said, not giving away more.
Then, actor Ajay Devgn met Modi in May last year in connection with his solar energy venture, and had also visited him in June 2010 to promote his then released film, Raajneeti.
