Vivek Oberoi has still not left the character of his film. At the screening of his movie, Vivek was seen serving tea to the guests. Seems, Vivek has taken the character of Narendra Modi quite seriously!
On being termed a propaganda film, director Omung Kumar said, "It's not a propaganda film. Because it's coming out at this point of time, people are talking like that. People release their films on Diwali or Eid. I am releasing my film during this time (election time) because it's right time for me."
