Few hours after the trailer of ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ was released, a controversy broke out over the facts in the upcoming flick. The Maharashtra Youth Congress on Thursday raised objection over the movie based on former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
The trailer shows Singh as the victim of the inside politics of the Congress ahead of 2014 general elections, which the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) lost.
Alleging ‘incorrect presentation of the facts,’ Maharashtra Youth Congress has demanded a pre-screening of the movie and declared that they wouldn’t let the movie be screened anywhere in the country if their demand is not met.

“If the said movie is released without prior screening for our office bearers and without making necessary changes recommended by us that we find out after viewing the movie it will be understood that you are doing this deliberately and we have other options open to stop the screening of the same across India,” Congress said in its letter.
