Speaking about his film 'Mere Pyare Prime Minister' at the 49th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra said it is much more than a film on open defecation. Excited about the film's success at the Rome Film Fest, he said that the movie raises 'some very innocent, but very important questions.'

"It stood fourth in a list of over a hundred films, and the press gave four out of five stars," he said.
