'The Accidental Prime Minister': This actress will play former PM Manmohan Singh’s wife role

Veteran actor Anupam Kher’s look from The Accidental Prime Minister has been very well received by the audience as he looks a spitting image of the former Indian PM Manmohan Singh -- on whom the film is based. After stunning his fans with his mirrored portrayal of Singh (in clips and photos that have been released on social media), Kher has some news for those following the film’s updates. 

Sharing a photo on his Twitter page, Kher revealed who will play the role of his reel wife -- Divya Seth Shah. Shah has been roped to play the role of Gursharan Kaur, wife of Manmohan Singh. 

He wrote on Wednesday: “Introducing Divya Seth Shah as Mrs Gursharan Kaur, wife of honourable ex-Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singhji.”

The Accidental Prime Minister is based on a book by Sanjaya Baru, a former media adviser to Manmohan Singh.

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

The film is slated to release on December 21.
