New Delhi, Sep 28 (UNI) The first look of 'Accidental Prime Minister' featuring Anupam Kher has created a huge zest in the nation.

The very fact that a movie was being made on former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and on his 'making and unmaking' made headlines everywhere.

The striking resemblance of Anupam Kher to Dr Singh has turned heads and how ? With the entire cast being announced and their looks revealed, audiences interest is revved up.

The movie is an adaptation of a memoir by Sanjaya Baru.

But since the movie is so topical, the publishing house of the book - "Penguins Publishing house" has put Anupam Kher’s look on the cover. Now that’s a huge achievement for the makers as the ‘reel’ version of the protagonist of the book has been featured on the cover.

The book with the new cover will be available in the stores from October 19.

Director Vijay Gutte said, “We knew people have liked the first look and are talking about the movie, but to come on the cover of the book on which the movie is based is a huge achievement for us. Its nice to be accepted by the audience prior to the release of the film.”

The movie is directed by debutant Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, along with Hansal Mehta as the creative producer and also features Akshaye Khanna as Sanjaya Baru, the former media advisor to the PM.

The flick is slated to release on December 21.
