The trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister, which stars Anupam Kher as former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, was out last week. After the trailer was launched, political parties especially the INC started using it as an issue and questioned the timing of the trailer and the movie.
The trailer of the film was also trending on YouTube post its launch. However, in a shocking twist, the trailer was nowhere to be found just a few days after its launch. A number of fans shared their concerns with Anupam who then took to Twitter to question YouTube about the missing trailer. He posted screenshots of the same as well. He wrote, "Dear @YouTube!!! I am getting messages & calls that in parts of our country if you type,trailer of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister, it is either not appearing or at 50th position. We were trending at No.1 yday. Please help. #HappyNewYear".
It should be noted that some Congress leaders even asked the producers for a special screening of the same. However, Anupam Kher reacted strongly to these requests and said that only if Dr Manmohan Singh asks for a screening, he will get it done.
The movie also stars Akshaye Khanna in the role of the media advisor-cum-book writer, Sanjaya Baru. The movie is slated to release on January 11, 2019.
