The lawyer of the makers had earlier shared with indianexpress.com that the release had been delayed because they did not get the clearance from Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

PM Narendra Modi traces the journey of Narendra Modi from his humble beginnings to becoming the Prime Minister of India.

With elections in the offing, many in the opposition have raised questions about the film’s timing and content, even going as far as calling it a propaganda film.

Vivek Oberoi had defended PM Narendra Modi while speaking to ANI earlier. He had said, “Why are such senior and famous lawyers like Abhishek Singhvi ji and Kapil Sibal ji wasting time on filing a PIL on such a modest film? Don’t know if they are scared of the film or of Chowkidar’s danda. We are not projecting Modi ji as a hero, he already is a hero, not only for me but for crores of people in India and abroad. It is an inspirational story which we brought to the screen.”
