Further casting details have not yet been revealed, and the team has kept supporting roles under wraps. However, the production has confirmed that events shown in the film will be based on documented accounts. The makers say they aim for dignity and scale in recreating rallies, meetings, and critical political decisions.

Unni Mukundan is known mainly for Malayalam films and recently gained attention for the neo-noir action thriller Marco, in which Unni Mukundan played the title role. For Maa Vande, Unni Mukundan has begun studying Narendra Modi's body language and speech style, preparing to deliver a performance that stays close to Narendra Modi's public image.

The film's launch has generated interest among audiences and industry watchers, who are curious about how Kranthi Kumar CH and Unni Mukundan will depict Narendra Modi's life on screen. With filming underway and more updates expected as schedules progress, Maa Vande is set to be closely followed within Indian biographical cinema.
