PM Narendra Modi is an Indian Hindi-language propaganda film released in 2019. It was directed by Omung Kumar, written by Anirudh Chawla and Vivek Oberoi, and produced under the banner of Legend Studios. The film is a hagiography of Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India since 2014. Its original release schedule on the opening day of the 2019 Indian general election caused significant backlash, leading to the film being banned by the Election Commission of India (ECI) for the duration of the general election. It was only released after the election's conclusion, receiving overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics.

Production

Initially actor Paresh Rawal was to play Narendra Modi in a biopic that he was also producing. Before that film was materialised, PM Narendra Modi was announced in parallel with Vivek Oberoi selected to play the lead role.

Filming began on 28 January 2019 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Some vital scenes in the film chronicling Modi's early life and political journey was filmed in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand. Final schedule of filming was held at Mumbai. Vivek was injured during the shoot while doing a scene in Uttarkashi.
