PareshRawal

Well, who else can play the Mota Bhai of the real life other than the Mota Bhai of the Bollywoodscreen? PareshRawal for one is the perfect choice to play Modi on the silver screen. There are a lot of things that go common here, a massive one being the ‘Gujju’ factor involved. Rawal also played a challenging role of freedom fighter SardarVallabhai Patel before in the film Sardar, and he walked away with standing ovation for that. Playing NaMo should be a walk in the park for this versatile artiste who can get that Gujju influenced Hindi right on spot, not to forget cloning Modi as a whole.

BomanIrani

Boman played some great roles in Bollywood proving to be one of the most reliable talent of the present times. He as NaMo should be great Boman can pull of any character with effortless ease. The last role played by Irani was that of a corrupt politician in Bhootnath 2.

Abhishek Bachchan

He did pull off the younger version of Dhirubhai in Mani Ratnam’s Guru. If ever a film on younger NarendraModi has to be made, Abhishek is the strong option. He is quite able to enter the skin of such characters, while carefully underplaying and yet outdoing the rest on screen. Guru proved that Abhi baby was more than just a commercial element in the offing.

Irrfan Khan

He is also a great choice. Provided that Irrfan puts on a little weight and makes over his personality a bit to suit the role, the actor is bound to rock it on the marquee. A lot of detailing has to go in while planning the makeup and costume here. The skill to perform, of course is well take care off given his impeccable performances in films like The LunchBox and The Life of Pi

AnupamKher

There are no great similarities in terms of looks but AnupamKher can shine playing the role otherwise. Given his great vast experience both in Bollywood and the World Cinema playing a strong character like NaMo should be like a revelation for him. Of course a lot will go into how the script would be penned if Kher has to play the protagonist.

Rajkummar Rao

He is a sure shot winner to play the younger version of Modi, or even the older. Rao proved himself to be an actor of the top notch, bagging a National Award at the early start of his career for his remarkable performance in Shahid. Playing NaMo will not only up his skill, but also present to the country a great material in the making when it comes to acting.
