Thackeray has been written by journalist and Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut and directed by Abhijit Panse. The film has been shot in Hindi and Marathi, and will be dubbed in English. The film also stars Amrita Rao in the role of Thackeray’s wife.
“We haven’t shown any controversial aspect in this film. Balasaheb’s life has been an open book. He never tried to hide anything from his life. So, in this film also we are not showing any hidden truth of his life,” Thackeray producer Sanjay Raut said.
