In 2014 Sanjaya Baru, Indian policy analyst and media advisor to former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh, stirred up quite a storm by releasing his controversial book, 'The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh'.

Fast forward to the present and the reel-life Baru is all set to stir up a storm at the box-office with his incredible performance. 

We're talking about Akshaye Khanna, who has already won us over with his portrayal of Baru in the brilliant trailer of 'The Accidental Prime Minister', which dropped today.

Anupam Kher as Dr. Manmohan Singh looks amazing in the trailer, but it's actually Akshaye Khanna who has clean bowled us with his sassy and shrewd narration and owned the trailer in the truest sense. 

But, of course, Anupam Kher too deserves all the credit for portraying such a complex character and adapting Singh's silent yet strong mannerism with utmost brilliance. 

While the book certainly gave fodder to the opposition as well as the entire nation to question Manmohan Singh's powers, and Sonia Gandhi and the Congress party's impact on his political decisions; the movie is a bold and daring attempt at answering those accusations and Dr Singh's alleged conflicts with the party. 

Suzanne Bernert too does a great job as Sonia Gandhi, who persistently tries to push for her son Rahul Gandhi to become the prime minister, while the country was going through a political crisis.  

Directed by Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, 'The Accidental Prime Minister' will be releasing on January 11, 2019.
