Kher, a celebrated and veteran actor, is portraying Dr Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of the Congress-led UPA regime in the film. The film is based on the bestselling book of the same name, penned by Sanjay Baru, who served as media advisor and chief spokesperson in Singh’s tenure.
The film was bombarded with controversies mainly from the Congress party. Vipin Wankhede, State President of Madhya Pradesh’s NSUI, the youth wing of Congress, threatened that whichever theatre screens this film will be responsible for the damage inflicted on them. Satyajeet Tambe Patil, President of the Maharashtra State Youth Congress, sent a letter to the producers demanding special screening, raising objections to "incorrect presentation of the facts" in the film.
