Mumbai: Veteran actress Shabana Azmi feels makers of "PM Narendra Modi" biopic intentionally added her husband and veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar's name to the film's credits list. "It is quite clear this was done with deliberate intentions to mislead public into believing that Javed Akhtar has written the songs for 'PM Narendra Modi' when the song 'Ishwar allah tere jahan mein' is from Deepa Mehta's film '1947 Earth'," she tweeted. Earlier this week, Akhtar also took to Twitter to express shock to see his name in the credits of the film's trailer. His name was mentioned among several other artistes in the lyrics category. Akhtar said he had not written any songs for the film.
