Mumbai: While Narendra Modi is crisscrossing the country, the Modi-look-alike is having a field-day. What if the real Modi is not available to campaign, the next best option is to invite the “Modi from Malad,” a suburb of Mumbai.
The 52-year-old businessman Vikas Mahante, who has an uncanny resemblance to Narendra Modi, has been in demand. Much like the man he impersonates, Mahante, too, has been wooed by several Shiv Sena and a few BJP candidates.
According to him, adequate preparation is key for which he carefully studies the Youtube clips of Modi for tips. He also has a carefully tailored wardrobe.
Mahante admits there is a definite Modi wave in the country with the manner in which he is greeted. “I get a lot of affection from every place wherever I visit,” he said
