Anupam Kher Speaks To Arnab Goswami

Bollywood actor Anupam Kher talks to Arnab Goswami and recounts his prep for the role of former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh in The Accidental Prime Minister. Describing it as “one of the most difficult roles he has ever essayed,” Kher says that he scoured thousands of hours of footage of Dr. Manmohan Singh on the internet to perfect the former prime minister’s mannerisms for the role. The Accidental Prime Minister is based on the book of the same name by Sanjaya Baru, who served as then PM Manmohan Singh’s media advisor. Akshaye Khanna plays Baru’s role in the movie. Ever since the first look of the movie has been out, Anupam Kher has been receiving a lot of attention for his striking resemblance to Dr Manmohan Singh.
