About PM Modi Biopic
Maa Vande will trace Modi’s journey from his humble beginnings to becoming India’s leader. It will also focus on his strong bond with his mother, Heeraben Modi, who inspired him throughout his life. The makers promise a grand cinematic experience with high-quality visuals, advanced VFX, and a skilled technical team.
Cinematographer KK Senthil Kumar (known for Baahubali and Eega) will handle the visuals. National Award-winning editor Sreekar Prasad will manage editing, while production designer Sabu Cyril will design the sets. King Solomon will choreograph action sequences, and music composer Ravi Basrur (known for KGF and Salaar) will create the score. Maa Vande will release across India in multiple languages, including English. The release date is yet to be announced.
Unni Mukundan shared the first poster of Maa Vande on Instagram, announcing that he will play Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the upcoming film directed by Kranthi Kumar CH. He recalled growing up in Ahmedabad, knowing Modi as the Chief Minister during his childhood, and later meeting him in April 2023.
Mukundan said portraying Modi is both overwhelming and inspiring. He explained that the film will explore not just Modi’s political journey, but also the man behind the leader. It will also focus on his deep bond with his mother, who shaped his character.
The actor added that two words from Modi have stayed with him through life’s challenges: “Jhookvanu Nahi,” meaning “Never Bow Down.” He said these words have been a source of strength for him.

Unni Mukundan’s Switch From Brutal Role In Marco
Unni Mukundan is known for his intense roles. In Marco (2024), he played a ruthless gangster seeking revenge after his blind foster brother died. The film showed extreme violence and brutal action scenes. Critics praised his dedication, but the role was controversial due to its intensity.
His performance in Marco set a high standard for action roles. Now, his role as Modi will be a softer, restrained portrayal, showing his versatility as an actor. Fans are curious to see how he transforms from a violent gangster to a political leader on screen.
On Modi’s 75th birthday, many film stars shared their wishes online. South cinema legends like Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Pawan Kalyan, Kamal Haasan, and Jr NTR congratulated him.
