The audience has been curious about who will play Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a leader par excellence, ever since the news of a movie about our three-time Prime Minister was released. The anticipation among viewers increased when Pankaj Tripathi joined forces with the film’s creators. The three-time National Award winner and well-known Marathi cinema director Ravi Jadhav will direct the movie, with a script by Utkarsh Naithani.

The story of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji, a deserving leader of India and one of the co-founders and a senior member of the Bhartiya Janta Party, is told in “Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye- ATAL”.

Pankaj Tripathi said, “It’s my honor to represent such a kind politician on screen. He was much more than just a politician. He was also a renowned poet and a skilled writer. For an actor like me, getting to walk in his footsteps is nothing but an honor”.

“As a filmmaker, I could not have wished for a greater story than that of Atalji,” said National Award winner Ravi Jadhav. “Additionally, the producers’ support and the use of a superb actor like Pankaj Tripathi bring Atalji’s narrative to the big screen. With ATAL, I aspire to live up to people’s expectations” said the director.

‘ATAL’ presented by Bhanushali Studios Limited and Legend Studios, is produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Sandeep Singh, Sam Khan & Kamlesh Bhanushali in association with 70MM Talkies and co-produced by Zeeshan Ahmad & Shivv Sharma.
