In an intriguing casting move, veteran actor Raveena Tandon has been confirmed to portray Heeraben Modi, the mother of Narendra Modi, in the upcoming multilingual biopic titled *Maa Vande*.
The film, officially announced on Narendra Modi’s birthday, September 17, is directed by Kranthi Kumar Ch and produced by Silver Cast Creations under the banner of producer Veer Reddy. Leading the project is actor Unni Mukundan, who will step into the shoes of Narendra Modi.
According to sources close to the film unit, Raveena Tandon was deeply moved by the character of Heeraben. The strength, depth, and arc of this layered character resonated strongly with her. Heeraben’s story—including “losing her mother early in her childhood and how she held the family together with calm and fortitude”—was a motivating factor for Raveena to sign on.
*Maa Vande* predominantly focuses on the mother-son relationship, chronicling the sacrifices, resilience, and contributions Heeraben made to better her son’s life. “Raveena Tandon was fascinated by this element and wanted to be part of the story,” added the source.
Ahead of filming, Raveena will undergo a complete transformation to bring authenticity to her role. The production is said to be mounted on a grand scale, employing advanced VFX technology to vividly bring the story to life.
With its focus on an influential figure’s familial roots and the significant role of the mother in shaping a national leader, *Maa Vande* sets out to explore a less-trodden path in the biopic genre. Featuring Raveena Tandon’s powerful presence, the film promises to deliver an emotionally grounded and compelling performance.
