The teaser of Pankaj Tripathi starrer Main Atal Hoon was released on Tuesday. The biopic of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has been written by Utkarsh Naithani and directed by Ravi Jadhav, known for National Award-winning films such as Natarang and Balgandharva.
The teaser shows Pankaj essaying the role of Vajpayee and having a discussion with LK Advani over the need of having a “new form” of politics. “A lotus should grow in this muck,” he announces theatrically. The film’s trailer will drop on December 20.
Previously, speaking to PTI, Pankaj had said that doing a biopic is difficult since people have been exposed to the public figure. “When people watch the film, they see whether the actor is doing mimicry or not? Or how has the actor captured the nuances, like mannerisms? I believe it is important to get these outer things correct but what is more important is to understand the person's thoughts and his core personality, and get that correct. As an actor you must tap into it, because that's what stays with people,” he said.
Main Atal Hoon is backed by Vinod Bhanushali, Sandeep Singh, Sam Khan and Kamlesh Bhanushali. It is scheduled to release in theatres on January 19.
