He said the event would feature the participation of the producers of ‘Hanuman Ansh’, along with screenings of different documentaries.
While speaking to ANI, Abhinav said, “We’re hosting a two-day Namo Book Festival in Kashi. All the books written about Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be brought together under one roof, and there will be a great discussion with young people. Take a look at the vision behind this event. This is the second edition, and the NAMO Book Festival has reached Varanasi. Tomorrow is going to be a really great event, because two members of the Hanuman Ansh team, his producer Anupriya Nagar and Sunil Lodhi, who worked on ‘Maine Tere Hi Bharose’ and other songs, will also be performed, which is a special presentation. Alongside this, a documentary program will feature a selection of documentaries. The panel of experts will also present awards to the filmmakers. Additionally, there will be books about Narendra Modi ji, our country’s successful Prime Minister. He is the world’s most written-about leader.”
