The film stars Anupam Kher as Manmohan Singh, the politician who served as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014 under the United Progressive Alliance.
Why is his biopic titled 'The Accidental Prime Minister'
Just like his stint as the Finance Minister during the Narasimha Rao Government when the nation opened from its Socialist enclosure towards an open economy, Manmohan Singh was the best bet for the highest executive post after Sonia Gandhi refused to take the honor fearing widespread discontent over her foreign origins.
