Versatile actor Paresh Rawal is gearing up to play Narendra Modi on-screen, and is confident that he can portray him best. “I can play him best on screen not because I know him better or anything. It’s just that I identify with him. I relate to his ideologies and believe in his qualities,” he says.

“In my opinion, every citizen and every leader should have Modiji’s qualities. We ought to be grateful that we have got an uncorrupted leader like Modi. He lives alone, away from the family. He doesn’t indulge in any loose talk or any other conversation apart from work,” he added.

The film has been in the news for the longest time but has not yet gone on floors. “We are working on the script because it needs in-depth research,” Paresh replies.

Meanwhile, the actor also says he has no money nor owns any production house to launch his sons. “My younger son is in America, while the older one is assisting on the sets of Tiger Zinda Hai. He is very professional and addresses me as ‘sir’ when we are working. I am glad he maintains his distance and never takes anyone for granted,” said the proud father.

Presently, Paresh is busy promoting his film Atithi In London.
