Raising objections to Anupam Kher’s upcoming movie ‘The Accidental Prime Minister,’ Maharashtra Youth Congress on Thursday demanded a special screening of the film to ensure that none of the scenes is factually incorrect.

The party’s state youth wing further asserted that if the film is released without prior screening for their office bearers they will resort to “other options” to stop the screening of the film.

In a letter to the makers of the film, the Congress youth wing raised objections to the “incorrect presentation of the facts”, news agency PTI reported.

The development came after the trailer of the film was released earlier on Thursday.

Directed by Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, the film stars Anupam Kher as Manmohan Singh, the economist and politician who served as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014 under the United Progressive Alliance.

The trailer showed Singh as the victim of the inside politics of the Congress party ahead of 2014 general elections, which the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) lost.

“Looking at the trailer of the movie it is understood that the facts have been played with and presented in an incorrect manner with regards to Ex-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Congress Party to malign the image of Congress Party which is not acceptable to us,” the statement by the youth wing read.

For the Bharatiya Janata Party, the film is a shot in the arm after the defeat in the three Hindi heartland states and ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Taking to Twitter, the saffron has termed the film as a “riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years”

“Riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years. Was Dr Singh just a regent who was holding on to the PM’s chair till the time heir was ready? Watch the official trailer of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister, based on an insider’s account, releasing on 11 Jan,” the tweet read.
