The makers of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi biopic Maa Vande, starring Unni Mukundan, have successfully wrapped the film's first schedule in Hyderabad.
Maa Vande is a biographical drama inspired by the life journey of Narendra Modi, tracing a story rooted in values, purpose, and resilience.
The announcement was made by the team through the release of behind-the-scenes pictures from the sets, offering an early glimpse into the making of the ambitious biographical drama.
The Hyderabad schedule began on an auspicious note with a traditional pooja, following which several key portions of the film were filmed. Marking the completion of this phase, the production team is now set to move into the next schedule in Kashmir. The BTS images shared by the makers also featured moments from the sets, including director Kranthi Kumar C.H. alongside Unni Mukundan.
This film is being made to capture the remarkable journey of Shri Narendra Modi. It will be based on true incidents and will reportedly portray his inspiring rise from childhood to becoming the leader of the nation. It will also highlight the bond he shared with his mother, Smt. Heeraben Modi, who stood as an unparalleled source of inspiration throughout his journey.
The project was announced on the Prime Minister's birthday in September and is being mounted on a grand canvas with international production standards and strong technical values.
The film is produced by Veer Reddy M. and written and directed by Kranthi Kumar C.H. Maa Vande brings together an acclaimed technical team comprising action director King Solomon, production designer Sabu Cyril, editor Sreekar Prasad, director of photography K.K. Senthil Kumar, and music composer Ravi Basrur. The collective body of work of the team includes landmark films such as Baahubali, Eega and Salaar, with Basrur's music having defined the soundscape of KGF. Their association underlines the makers' intent to deliver the biopic on a large-scale, cinematic platform befitting its subject.
Unni Mukundan's Marco turned out to be a commercial success at the box office and emerged as the highest-grossing A-rated Malayalam-language film of all time. It also became the eleventh highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. Unni Mukundan has recently wrapped Mindiyum Paranjum, directed by Arun Bose and produced by Salim Ahamed under the studio Allens Media. The upcoming film also stars Aparna Balamurali. It has received U Certificate and was premiered at the Indian Film Festival, Alberta.
Notably, in the past, Omung Kumar made a biopic titled PM Narendra Modi in 2019, which featured Vivek Oberoi as the Prime Minister.
