Rajdeep Sardesai has once again proved himself to be the flag bearer of the anti-Modi campaign. The influencer had actor Vivek Oberoi on his show yesterday to discuss his upcoming biopic of Narendra Modi. The journalist had questioned the fact that such movies brought to release at the time of the election, is an evident stunt to win elections.
Vivek Oberoi strongly opposed the formulated opinion of the journalist where Rajdeep was persistent in proving the release of the movie a new gimmick. The actor with all ease and charm shut Rajdeep on this comment of his by saying, “It is the story of a ‘chaiwala’ who became the Prime Minister of India. It is an inspiring story that needs to be told. I did the film because PM Narendra Modi inspires me.” These words were testimony to the fact that no political agenda was to be portrayed in the mentioned movie.
The actor will be soon seen on the big picture with the release of his new coming, Modi. The movie depicts the life of Prime Minister Modi and his struggle in life, politics and ideologies adopted.
Vivek Oberoi eloquently brought out the fact that if the movie is in line to influence the election, so is Rajdeep Sardesai and his views. The actor very well mentioned that a journalist like Sardesai who has so much influence on media is a stronger hold on people. He also said that in such case Rajdeep Sardesai should not be seen anywhere around social and media platforms before elections. The opinions that are formulated and spoken by a journalist like Rajdeep Sardesai can also mould the minds of general viewers and affect the election as well. He backfired Sardesai, asking him, if like the movie even Rajdeep Sardesai should also be banned until the election.
Aur ye laga zor ka tamacha @sardesairajdeep ko @vivekoberoi ke taraf se. 👋

While the actor and the producer of the movie have been questioned, they have a strong answer to give as well. The opposition, on the other hand, has demanded the deferment of the movie until the election.
It was only a day before that Rajdeep Sardesai accused the Prime Minister of bringing the communal angle to a numerical expression of majority used by the Modi. The journalist has been rhetoric in his opinion about the Bhartiya Janta Party and PM Modi in particular. It is rather funny that such assumptions and spins in a plain blatant statement or action are Sardesai’s own creations. These media stunts by the journalist in the past and even at present have been highly criticized by the common public. The wrong usage of freedom of expression and monopolising the industry is unacceptable. The idea of media should be to bring the truth behind the actions and not manipulate it to favour popularity and TRP counts.
