One of this year's most anticipated movies 'The Accidental Prime Minister' starring Anupam Kher in the lead role, as former Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh, has yet again made headlines, after being constantly entangled in controversies since its trailer released last week.

If you are wondering what the film has gotten itself into this time around, then we'd ask you to hold your horses right there. Why? Because it seems like “somebody” has made sure that the anticipation and hype around the movie be cut short. Perhaps in the hopes of distracting the audience and Indian citizens from the can of worms the movie is set to unravel.

Last evening Anupam Kher who plays the lead role in the movie, pointed out that the trailer for 'The Accidental Prime Minister' has gone missing from YouTube (or most likely it was taken down). The trailer had over 37 million views since its release, and was trending at #1! Audience have openly appreciated the performance of Kher and Akshaye Khanna who shall be seen essaying the role of Sanjaya Baru in the film.

The possibilities seem to have irked Kher quite a bit, since he took to Twitter to share his concern regarding the issue.

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. #37millionviews ðhttps://t.co/TUu4AtaRzk pic.twitter.com/KhoZJuxmmu

Not just the actor himself, but hundreds of other users on the platform have tweeted to share their stand on the issue, and honestly the public seems pretty miffed with the political angle the situation has taken. Here is what they had to say:

Is it something that Congress playing dirty politics and Paying @YouTube for Hiding trailer of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister ? If true, Shocking.

'The Accidental Prime Minister' has been directed by Vijay Ratnakar Gutte and is based on the 2014 memoir of the same name by Sanjaya Baru. Much like the book, the movie tries to trace the journey of the former PM, while he ruled the nation on the behest of the Congress party, and Sonia Gandhi in particular.

While we smell something fishy here, let's wait and see what else the movie holds in store.
