In the film, actor Vivek Oberoi has essayed the role of Modi.
However, the film's release was stopped by the Election Commission (EC), which considered it as a "hagiography" and said it would disturb the level-playing field in the election season.
Though the matter went to the courtroom, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the EC's decision.
PM Narendra Modi traces the BJP's poster boy's life journey from childhood to his days as the Gujarat Chief Minister and also the journey as the Prime Minister.
The 2002 Gujarat riot also features in the trailer, which was released by the filmmakers.
