Ever since the announcement of a film on our three-time Prime Minister was announced, it piqued the audience’s interest to know who will be playing the role of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a leader par excellence. With Pankaj Tripathi joining hands with the makers of this film, the excitement within the audiences has raised a notch higher. The film will be helmed by three times National Award winner Ravi Jadhav, one of the renowned directors of the Marathi film Industry and written by Utkarsh Naithani. ‘Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye- ATAL’ revolves around the journey of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji, an honourable leader of India and one of the co-founders and a senior leader of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP).
