2002 Godhra train burning recreated in Vadodara for film on Narendra Modi’s life

Film producers filmed a scene where a train coach was set on fire in Vadodara on Sunday to recreate the 2002 Godhra train burning for the film being made on Narendra Modi’s life.

According to sources, permission had been given from Western Railway and the Vadodara Fire Department to shoot the scene.

Permission had been sought from Western Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Ravindra Bhakar to shoot a different scene, of the Prime Minister selling tea on railway platforms. No mention had been made about Godhra.

Jayaraj Gadhvi, a producer on the film signed a letter to the Chief Fire Officer of VMC seeking fire engines for the shoot. The scenes from inside the train will be shot at a film set in Mumbai.

The shoot was for a film about Narendra Modi’s life which will be titled PM Narendra Modi. It is being directed by Omung Kumar and will feature Vivek Oberoi in the titular role. It is slated for a release ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
