Who wants to be MP when you can be PM on-screen: Vivek

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Vivek Anand Oberoi has been a vocal supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but he has no plans to shift gears into politics.

Asked if he would like to try stepping into politics, Vivek told: “No. In 2004, I was offered my first ticket as a Member of Parliament. It has been five times since then including the by-elections. I have been offered the MP ticket from regional and national parties, but I’ve said no.”

“Who wants to be an MP when you can be PM on-screen,” added the actor, who features as Modi in the leader’s biopic “PM Narendra Modi”, releasing on May 24.

The film, which traces Modi’s life story, was stopped just a night before its scheduled worldwide opening on April 11 when the parliamentary polls kicked off, to ensure a level playing field in the elections.
