Actor-writer-producer-director Dev Anand, who is known for his undying passion for cinema, is ready with yet another film titled "Mr. Prime Minister", which releases Friday.

His last few films were disastrous but he has put the failures behind and is gearing up for his latest film's premiere in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The film was extensively shot in earthquake-ravaged Kutch.

Dev Anand plays the central character Johnny Master and the film revolves around him. A survivor of the earthquake, Johnny is a happy-go-lucky elderly man and sells newspapers for a living in a small village of Gujarat.

His life changes when government declares parliamentary elections post earthquake. The residents of the village decide to form their own political party and make Johnny their candidate.

Johnny wins but destiny has something else for him. His opponents join hands and kidnap him. After being tortured, Johnny regains his memory and discovers that he is Prem Batra, the richest Indian, and on the very day of his arrival in Kutch he had become a victim of the earthquake.

How he busts the racket of corrupt politicians and becomes the prime minister is the crux of the story.

The film is written, produced and directed by the actor and also stars Prem Chopra, Milind Gunaji, Boman Irani and Mohan Joshi in important roles.
