The Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha lawmaker Sanjay Raut has embarked on an ambitious journey to make a biopic on party founder Balasaheb Thackeray, a politician who controlled Mumbai and had millions of devoted followers and his share of critics as well. The right-wing leader who stood for the idea of "sons of the soil" will be brought alive on screen by a Muslim actor from Uttar Pradesh. With Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the role, the makers of the film say that he will do justice to it and meet the challenge of playing one of the most enigmatic politicians of Maharashtra.
