The release of ‘The Accidental Prime Minister movie trailer’ sparked political temperature without the shadow of a doubt. From some commoners calling it a propaganda film to others expressing disapproval to “incorrect presentation of facts”, the Anupam Kher-starrer landed in a huge controversy in the trailer itself.
However, after all the heated debate and discussion of the movie trailer, The Accidental Prime Minister eventually hit the screens on January 11. But now, the movie is facing some serious political fallout.
Yesterday, Congress workers reportedly sneaked and deliberately destroyed a theatre located in Kolkata taking the protest against the movie.

When Anupam Kher came to know about this backlash, he slammed Rahul Gandhi and his supporters, on Twitter.
Dear @RahulGandhi. I don’t think your supporters who vandalised a theatre playing #TheAccidentalPrimeminister read your tweets about #FreedomOfExpression.?? https://t.co/bQLPRFJRDJ

The movie is taken according to the facts chronicled in a book by Sanjaya Baru – Manmohan Singh’s media advisor between 2004 and 2008. It revolves around Singh’s life, who is the economist and politician, who extended his contributions as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014 under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
