Sathyaraj clears the air on Modi biopic.
A few days ago, the film industry was abuzz with reports about seasoned actor Sathyaraj essaying the lead role in a biopic drama based on India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, there seems to be no truth to this news.
During a press interaction in Chennai on Wednesday, Sathyaraj issued a clarification and denied the news. He suggested that he would play the lead role in the Modi biopic if filmmakers could depict the truth as it is. "No one approached me for a biopic movie on PM Modi. My friend Manivannan is not here with us. If he were alive and directed it, he would have shown the story as it is. If Vijay Milton sir, could make the movie as it is, that's also fine. If filmmakers like Vetrimaaran, Pa. Ranjith, or Mari Selvaraj direct it, the Modi biopic will be very good," he added.
