Adding to the political buzz created by Anupam Kher starrer The Accidental Prime Minister, Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani said that he wishes to make a movie on PM Modi. He said the name of the movie will be Chowkidar hi Chor Hai. He was speaking exclusively with India Today.

Calling PM Modi a "disasterous prime minister", Mevani said he wants to expose the BJP's "Goebellesian rhetoric of development".

Trailer of The Accidental Prime Minister has created quite a stir in the country. The movie portrays the period when Manmohan Singh was the prime minister.

Congress has taken strong objection to the movie and termed it 'a diversionary tactic' while the BJP has welcomed the movie.

The party even said that the film is a "riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom"

Riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years. Was Dr Singh just a regent who was holding on to the PM’s chair till the time heir was ready?

Mevani said if such a movie is made on the life of Narendra Modi, it will make more money than a blockbuster starring Shah Rukh, Salman or Aamir.

Jignesh Mevani lashed out at the central government and BJP on a number of issues.

Criticising BJP's opposition to the Supreme Court verdict over the Sabarimala issue, Mevani said he supported women's entry inside the temple.

"Supreme Court verdict should be celebrated, accepted and not opposed," he told India Today TV.

He said that people in the country have lost faith in PM Narendra Modi because of issues like demonetisation, implementation of GST and issues in the agriculture sector.

Jignesh Mevani gained political prominence following his agitations against dalit atrocities in Gujarat.

He alleged that atrocities against Dalits are on the rise in Tamil Nadu. He claimed that at least 12 dalit women are raped each day in the state.
