Coinciding with PM Modi’s 75th birthday today, the production team unveiled the biopic on social media. Unni also took to his Instagram account to share the film's poster, revealing his emotions.
The actor expressed, “I’m honored to announce that I will be portraying the esteemed Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi ji, in the upcoming film Maa Vande, directed by @kranthikumarch and produced by @maavandemovie. Growing up in Ahmedabad, I first recognized him as my Chief Minister during my childhood.”
“Years later, in April 2023, I had the remarkable opportunity to meet him in person, a moment that left a lasting impact on me. As an actor, taking on this role is both overwhelming and deeply inspiring. His political journey has been extraordinary, but this film aims to portray the man beyond the politician, focusing on his profound relationship with his mother, who significantly influenced his character and spirit.”

“Maa Vande is set to release globally, in every major Indian language and beyond. On this special occasion, I join the nation in extending my warmest wishes to our esteemed Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi ji, on his 75th birthday. @narendramodi @kranthikumarch @maavandemovie Looking forward to seeing you at the movies,” concluded Unni Mukundan.
