Real
Star
Upendra,
after
working
in
a
string
of
remakes,
has
okayed
a
straight
subject,
which
is
titled
as
Modi,
and
will
be
directed
by
Uday
Prakash
of
Auto
Raja
and
Kalla
Malla
Sulla
fame.
Apparently,
Uday
Prakash
has
been
working
on
this
script
from
the
past
one
year.
He
has
readied
more
than
half
a
dozen
versions,
which
were
rejected
by
Uppi
as
he
was
not
happy
with
it
before
finally
accepting
the
eighth
version
of
the
script.
The
film
will
be
produced
by
MN
Kumar
and
Jayashree
Devi,
under
MNK
Movies.
Vasu
will
be
the
executive
producer.
Director
Uday
Prakash
is
in
the
process
of
finalizing
cast
and
crew
for
the
film.
Once
the
script
was
okayed
by
Uppi,
Uday
Prakash
zeroed
in
Modi
as
the
title
for
the
movie.
Next
challenge
for
makers
was
to
get
this
title
cleared
from
the
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
as
the
title
is
related
to
a
person;
indeed
a
powerful
person
of
the
country.
Finally,
the
title
was
cleared
by
KFCC
with
the
tagline
-
"It
is
a
One
Man
Show,
No
Politics
Please".
The
project
will
be
officially
announced
on
Upendra's
birthday
i.e.,
September
18.
Apart
from
this,
at
least
3-4
projects
of
Uppi
will
be
announced
on
the
same
day.
Uday
Prakash,
who
is
very
confident
on
the
script
says
that
if
Upendra
had
not
agreed
to
be
part
of
this
project
then
he
would've
not
considered
making
this
film,
as
this
script
will
only
suit
Upendra.
Also,
he
clarifies
that
movie
has
nothing
to
do
with
our
Prime
Minister,
Narendra
Modi.
The
team
will
start
shooting
from
October,
once
Upendra
completes
the
shoot
for
his
ongoing
film
Uppi
Matthe
Hutti
Baa,
which
is
in
the
final
stages
of
production.
