Thackeray Trailer: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Proves That He Was Born For This Role In This Gritty Trailer!

The much anticipated trailer of the film Thackeray starring Nawazuddin Siddique has finally released today wherein Nawaz plays the fiery Shiv Sena Head Balasaheb Thackeray. It chronicles the life of the dynamic and controversial Shiv Sena leader. Nawazuddin Siddique is a stellar delight as he portrays Balasaheb Thackeray and how he used to address and influence his numerous followers at Shivaji Park. What struck us is how Nawazuddin Siddiqui bears an uncanny resemblance to the politician.

The film is directed by Abhijeet Panse. The film is written by Shiv Sena spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut. The teaser was also releases by Bal Thackeray's son Uddhav Thackeray and Amitabh Bachchan. Sanjay Raut is also the producer of the film. Nawazuddin has immortalized the character by his dialogue delivery, mannerisms and the uncanny resemblance. He had shared the teaser earlier on twitter writing, ' an honour and pride to portray the Real King of the Country on Screen.” This is inevitably his one of the most difficult performances of all time.

The film also stars Amrita Rao who looks intense in the trailer as Bal Thackeray's wife Meena Tai Thackeray. The trailer depicts Thackeray's journey from the inception. Nawaz is truly a visual delight in the the trailer. The film also sees controversial aspects of Thackeray's life like the Babri Masjid riot. But what stole the show was a dialogue of Nawazuddin as Thackeray at the end of the trailer where he says to a cricketer that his batting was not that good which will make him forget the brutal death of the Indian army soldiers. This has to be one of the biggest masterpiece of next year. The film will be releasing near Balasaheb Thackeray's 93rd birthday next year, on January 25th.
