Political slugfest over The Accidental PM, Anupam Kher reacts

Calling The Accidental Prime Minister his life's best performance, actor Anupam Kher on Friday said he will not back off from the snowballing controversy over the film on former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The actor, who plays the title role in the movie, also took a swipe at Maharashtra Youth Congress' threat to stop the release unless it is first shown to them, saying they should be happy a film has been made on their leader.

The trailer of the film, based on the book of the same name by Sanjaya Baru who served as Singh's media advisor from 2004 to 2008, was released yesterday on Thursday.
