Aahana Kumra, who will be seen in "The Accidental Prime Minister", says cinema should be democratic and the film deserves a fair chance to be shown to people.
The film is based on the book of the same name written by Sanjaya Baru, who served as a media advisor for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In the film, Anupam Kher plays the title role and Akshaye Khanna is seen as Baru.
While the trailer of the film irked many Congress leaders who called it a "propaganda", Aahana, says the film is not taking any sides.
"It is a powerfully cut trailer. I am a non-political person. I don't support anyone. Every film has its own point of view. Cinema should be democratic and I have maintained that in my work.
"Anything that you watch is up to you, the power is in your hands whether to watch a film or not. While shooting I did not feel the film was taking any sides."
"I would have never imagined people thinking of me casting as Priyanka Gandhi. I was anxious to play her. This was my first big film. I wanted to get everything right. I am looking forward to see my work."
"I remember while I was shooting, the director said, I am too high on energy and I had to work on it. For this role I had to be completely opposite of myself."
"I have tried to play to the best of my knowledge in tandem with the director."
