He recently shared the first poster from the upcoming movie and he looked extremely similar to the ex-PM.

To reinvent yourself as an actor is to challenge yourself. Looking forward to portraying #DrManmohanSingh in #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister.:) pic.twitter.com/PsVdkpjZWY

However, as much as people are looking forward to watching how the memoir will be treated on screen, the folks on Twitter could not help but wonder if it’s going to be a silent film.

A silent film in 2017 sir? 😉 On a serious note, here's wishing you luck with it! I'm sure you will knock it out of the park!

It's certainly going to be a challenge for a 'vocal' actor to perform a 'mute' role...! 😉

It’s weird how hard people judge things they have barely any idea about. 

Aamir Khan gained massive weight for Dangal.

All jokes aside, lets not forget that he is one of the most learned people in the country and the driving force of many  major economic reforms that benefited us as an economy. The movie is slated to release next year.
