Bollywood Actors Who Can Lead Political Biopics

Bollywood Actors Who Can Lead Political Biopics

Political satires are not usually attempted in B-Town. However, the critically acclaimed 'Ekkes Toppon Ki Salaami' and upcoming film, 'Zed Plus', might just encourage filmmakers to take a long, hard look at this genre.

Zakir Hussain as Achuthanandan (Former Kerala CM)

Role call: Actor Zakir Hussain, whom we last saw in 'Singham Returns' as Prakash Rao, would fit the bill.

Kay Kay Menon as ND Tiwari (Ex-AP governor)

Kay Kay Menon has the acting chops to portray a politician who remained defiant even in the face of controversy.

Paresh Rawal as Narayan Rane (Member of Indian National Congress)

Paresh Rawal for his intense acting and comic timing.

Piyush Mishra as Digvijaya Singh (ex-MP CM)

Piyush Mishra whom we recently saw in 'The Shaukeens' would look a lot like Digvijaya with his broad face and toothy smile.

Emraan Hashmi as Raghuraj P Singh aka Raja Bhaiyya (Cabinet minister in UP)

With his intensity and sense of wry humour, Emraan Hashmi can do justice to the role.

Abhay Deol as Abhishek Manu Singhvi (Former Congress spokesperson)

With his round face and articulate speech, Abhay Deol seems to be the perfect choice. And he is a spiffy dresser too!

Rani Mukerji as Mamata Banerjee (CM of West Bengal)

Rani Mukerji seems like a good choice. Another option that comes to mind is Vidya Balan, given her frame and love for all things Bengali.
