Unni Mukundan as Modi: As it is the eve of Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, India is looking forward to some shocking surprises. The entire internet is buzzing with guesses about which celebrity will give the most memorable birthday greeting or tribute to our Honourable Prime Minister. And who would have thought that the unexpected show stealer would be no other than Marco himself — Unni Mukundan.

Maa Vande: Internet reacts

Unni released the first-look poster of his latest film Maa Vande, allegedly a biopic of India’s current Prime Minister Narendra Modi. When the Marco actor unveiled the poster, the internet was immediately polarized. There is one side that is clearly thrilled and anticipating the movie and another busy ridiculing Unni Mukundan for getting the role.

Critics claim that Unni Mukundan may not have the range to convincingly portray such a prominent political figure. Some netizens even argue that Unni’s commitment to this project is more about political alignment than cinematic ambition.

Sequel to Marco? Internet mocks

The internet, naturally, didn’t lag behind. Social media was later filled with sarcastic and witty remarks. One person cracked, “Is this a sequel to Marco?” Another person made fun of the actor and the government by saying, “National Film Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role — Unni Mukundan,” tongue firmly in cheek.

Another common refrain expressed on social media is why the film was required in the first place. “We already have a Modi biopic with Vivek Oberoi. Why do another?” was one of the questions asked by a user, a sentiment shared by many.

Whether applauded as a daring career move or as a politicized blunder, Unni Mukundan’s Maa Vande announcement has definitely made waves — and memes are not slowing down anytime soon.
