Ever since it was announced that a biopic on the life of?Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who served three terms as the 10th Prime Minister of India, and was respected by everyone including his rivals, fans were excited. The excitement level piqued further after it was revealed that everyone's favourite actor Pankaj Tripathi was going to essay his role on the big screen.?
Donning a dhoti-kurta and a jacket, Tripathi looked like a replica of the politician in prosthetics used for makeup.
In the caption, he wrote, "Na main kahin dagmagaya, na main kahin sar jhukaya, main atal hoon."
In another post, he wrote, "I know that it is necessary for me to work on my personality with restraint in order to make 'Atal' ji's personality come true on screen. With enthusiasm and morale, I have firm faith that I will be able to do justice to my new role."
Earlier, talking about the film, Pankaj Tripathi had said, "It's my honour to portray such a humane politician on screen. He was not just a politician but so much more, he was an excellent writer and a renowned poet. Getting to be in his shoes is nothing but a privilege for an actor like me."
Written by Utkarsh Naithani and directed by three-time National Award-winner Ravi Jadhav,?Main Atal Hoon?is all set to be released on Dec 25, 2023.
Director Ravi Jadhav said, "For me as a director, I couldn¡¯t have asked for any better story than that of Atalji. On top of this, having an exemplary actor like Pankaj Tripathi to bring to screen Atalji¡¯s story and the support of the producers. I hope that I can live up to people¡¯s expectations with ATAL."
