MP Ramachandran, a native of Payyannur in Kannur, became famous when a picture of him waiting at a railway station last year went viral on social media. He will be soon making his screen debut with a Kannada film.
He mentioned that to fame is his eerie lookalike to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And it is the same reasons why the 64-years-old received an offer from a Bangalore-based film production company.
Statement 8/11 is written and directed by Appi Prasad and is produced by Venu KH. In order to cash in on Ramachandran’s popularity, the filmmakers got him to play the role of PM Modi in the film.
“There are 3 or 4 scenes that I have done in the movie. One prominent one is the PM’s speech declaring demonetisation,” Ramachandran reported about the role of Modi lookalike.
According to reports, the director reworked the script to accommodate Ramachandran’s role in the film.
