CM sahab, awaiting your review. — Delhi Boy (@vipulIT) January 11, 2019

Several celebrities too have applauded Anupam Kher and Akshaye Khanna's performances in the film. While director Shekhar Kapur wrote, "Two very strong performances make #AccidentalPrimeMinister a must-see film. Akshaye Khanna and Anupam Kher. Anupam creates Manmohan Singh as a man who seems weak but carries great strength inside. Yet ultimately finds that principles and politics do not go together," superstar Anil Kapoor took to Twitter and said, "Just like every role you do, @AnupamPKher you have done full justice to this character as well. You're such a great storyteller! This definitely was a difficult film and could only be done by an actor par excellence. You are impeccable! #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister."
