In The Accidental Prime Minister, Anupam Kher plays the role of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, while Akshaye Khanna portrays the role of Mr Singh's media advisor Sanjaya Baru. The film is based on the book The Accidental Prime Minister, which has been written by Sanjaya Baru.
Besides Anil Kapoor, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur also praised Anupam Kher and Akshaye Khanna's performance in the film and tweeted: "Two very strong performances make The Accidental Prime Minister a must see film. Anupam creates Manmohan Singh as a man who seems weak but carries great strength inside. Yet ultimately finds that principles and politics do not go together."
