Overview
- Modi said Thursday that a feature film based on his life is in the scripting stage and that he has given hundreds of interviews to help shape the script.
- He told reporters that Ranveer Singh flew to London about two years ago to meet him and said he wanted to play Modi, but Singh has not publicly confirmed any involvement.
- Modi named Sneha Rajani as the lead of the development team, and news outlets report there is not yet a director, studio or confirmed lead actor attached to the project.
- Modi has said the film will address contentious episodes from his career, including his claim that threats from underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim influenced his exit from cricket administration, a claim not independently corroborated in current coverage.
- The story could carry legal and reputational risks and will require rights, clearances and third-party verification; observers say the next signs to watch are formal studio attachments and any public confirmation from actors or directors.
