As the entire nation awaits results of the general elections 2019 and with trends hinting at Bharatiya Janata Party coming back to power for a second term with a major lead, actor Vivek Oberoi spoke to WION about his film ‘PM Narendra Modi’, a biopic on the Indian prime minister that is slated to release tomorrow on May 24.

Visibly happy at the trends so far, Vivek spoke of the work put in to make the film that had him researching for the role, understanding the temperament of the most powerful Indian at the moment and following Modi’s politics.&nbsp;

Vivek said, “They can’t stop me or Modi Ji. Tomorrow when people will celebrate Modiji’s victory, our film will release and they will know his story.”

On why he chose to work on the film, Vivek said, “I think it’s an incredible journey. Let's take a time machine and travel to the 1950’s- 60’s Vadnagar station where a kid serves tea in clay cups. Can you imagine meeting this kid and saying that he will become the prime minister?”

He further said, “It was fascinating for me, I have seen his journey from Gujarat chief minister to the prime minister. I have believed in his politics. I connect him on a political level. Before starting on the film when I researched his life, I met his neighbours, I found out that his mother who loved him a lot had to wash other people’s utensils. Coming from that, Modiji still never chased money. Dhandho should have been in his blood but still, he never chased money. Philanthropy is done on a full stomach bere was a man who came from nothing and yet always gave everything to the nation. I wish that our film inspires people to see that.”&nbsp;

It is suggested that the counting of votes and the announcement of results may get delayed due to tallying of voter-verified paper audit trail slips with EVM count. The exercise will take place for the first time.

On Monday, the Election Commission had rubbished the reports of alleged EVM tampering stating that adding that visuals doing the rounds in sections of media "do not pertain to any EVMs used during the polls".

"Complaints of alleged movement of EVMs, purportedly to replace polled EVMs in strongrooms, doing rounds in sections of media. Would like to unambiguously clarify that reports are absolutely false. Visuals seen viral on media do not pertain to any EVMs used during the polls," the EC clarified.&nbsp;

On May 19, various exit polls predicted a thumping win for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Lok Sabha polls.&nbsp;

The party, along with its allies, is predicted to sweep a lion's share of the Hindi heartland of the nation including states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bihar as well as the national capital.&nbsp;
