Mumbai:
One of the keenly awaited trailers, Thackeray, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui was released today. The hard-hitting political drama film is based on the life of Bal Thackeray, the founder of Shiv Sena. Siddiqui is essaying the titular role in the film, which also features Amrita Rao as his wife, Meena Tai Thackeray.
After the sensational teaser, the newly released trailer gives a glimpse into Bal Thackeray’s contentious political life and his rise in the Maharashtra political circuit. After playing Saadat Hasan Manto in Manto this year, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has nailed it as the politician with his spectacular performance. With Thackeray, it looks like Nawazuddin is all set to add another feather in his glorious hat.
The actor wrote on Twitter that Thackeray was the most difficult role he has ever played.
