Bollywood has seen a surge of politically themed films, be it "Raajneeti", "Indu Sarkar", "Thackeray" or the upcoming movie on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's life. Actor Darshan Kumaar, who plays a journalist in "PM Narendra Modi", says if the film industry can make biopics on sports stars, then why not on politicians as well.

According to reports, the latest to join the bandwagon is a biopic on Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari.

On the biopics boom on politics or politicians, Darshan told IANS, "Audience wants something new, something close to real life. Thus biopics are working superbly."

As movies like "Indu Sarkar", "Raajneeti", "Thackeray", "Manto" and "Airlift" faced opposition from certain sections, Darshan said "Politics is an integral part of life, whether people are conscious or not. 'Mahabharata' is the greatest example of that. The audience accepts a film if the content is good."

Veteran actor Anupam Kher's latest release "The Accidental Prime Minister", based on former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's years in power, was termed a "propaganda film".

On being asked if that's fair and also would he like his film "PM Narendra Modi" be looked at with the same prism, Darshan said: "Not at all. This movie reflects the strength, determination, and hope.

"It shows if you believe in yourself, work hard and have the passion to pursue a dream, you will achieve it. It hardly matters if you dream to become a scientist, doctor, actor or Prime Minister."

"PM Narendra Modi", a film by Omung Kumar also stars Vivek Oberoi, Waheeda Rahman, Boman Irani, and Barkha Bisht Sengupta.

Darshan has earlier worked under the baton of Omung in films like "Mary Kom">Mary Kom" and "Sarbjit", both based on real-life stories.

Darshan faced a lot of challenges while preparing for his role as a journalist in "PM Narendra Modi".

"While working on a biopic, the greatest challenge for any actor is to play and do justice to a real-life character in a limited time. The greatest challenge was to learn and depict before camera the way a journalist speaks and behaves," he said.
