Eros Now & Benchmark Pictures to make an
original series biopic on the political superstar of India
Eros Now, the
cutting-edge digital over-the-top (OTT) South Asian entertainment platform
owned by Eros International Plc, a Global Indian Entertainment Company, offers
a wide range of quality content that draws the attention of its worldwide
audience. In an attempt to present yet another gripping story, the premium OTT
platform, today announced the most-sought after biopic on India’s Prime
Minister, Narendra Modi, produced by Benchmark Pictures, a leading production
house of India led by Umesh Shukla and Ashish Wagh. Titled ‘Modi,’ the Eros Now
original series showcases the eventful life of the inspiring and influential
leader.
The 10-part original series
on Eros Now directed by the talented filmmaker Umesh Shukla captures different
phases of Modi’s life. The story begins with 12-year-old
Narendra and traverses through his teenage, youth to becoming the Prime
Minister of world’s largest democracy, India. Modi’s siblings, friends,
neighbours and school teachers reminisce his fascinating journey of self-discovery
and enhances the authenticity of the original series. Actors Faisal Khan,
Ashish Sharma and Mahesh Thakur play his part to depict the different stages of
his life. The original series is written by Mihir Bhuta and Radhika Anand and
each episode ranges between 35 to 40
minutes highlighting many incidents that made him devote his life to the
service of the country.
Narendra Modi was born to a family of grocers (who
owned a tea stall) in Vadnagar, Mehsana district, Bombay state (present-day
Gujarat) and is the third of six children of Damodardas Mulchand Modi and
Hiraben Modi. He was a diligent and resourceful student who discovered himself
better at a young age by travelling across the country. His extremely humble
background helped him connect with the masses and the biopic is the ultimate
gateway to witness the life of a self-made man. Shot in real locations of
Gujarat, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Delhi and Kashmir, the biopic captures the
several highs and lows of the dynamic leader of new India.
Commenting on the announcement of the show,
Ridhima Lulla, Chief Content Officer, Eros Group said, “Eros has always
believed in connecting with the masses and telling them the stories that
matter. ‘Modi’ is one of our really exciting projects. Prime Minister Narendra
Modi is undoubtedly a leader par excellence and someone who has inspired many
and changed the way world looks at India. Our attempt through this biopic is to
tell the story of his struggle, ambition, intensity and success and how it not
only inspires many but is one of the factors of his mass appeal. We are certain
that the audience will love to watch the different facets of their enigmatic
leader.”
Umesh Shukla further adds, “Prime Minister Modi’s
personality enthrals young and old alike. His sense of humour, spirituality and
love for technology makes him a unique leader. It was lovely to take on a
project which came with a responsibility to narrate the life of the leader of
new India and I am sure each episode of the 10-part
original series will be a revelation for the audiences. His growing-up years,
brave decisions and roles at different phases of life makes for an incredible
story.”
Modi, the original series premieres in April 2019,
exclusively on Eros Now.
