Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an outstanding leader for India, a well-known poet, and a writer. He was also a skilled orator and a compassionate politician.  The bestselling book on India’s three-time prime minister, who was also one of the co-founders and a senior member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, has been acquired by Vinod Bhanushali and Sandeep Singh.

The bestselling book “The Untold Vajpayee: Politician and Paradox” by renowned author Ullekh N P is dramatized in the movie “Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye – ATAL.”

Vinod Bhanushali, a producer, said, “I have adored Atalji my entire life. He made an immeasurable contribution to the development of our country, so it is an enormous honor for us that Bhanushali Studios Ltd. is bringing his legacy to the big screen”.

“Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji was one of the greatest leaders in Indian history who won friends with his words, led the country affirmatively, and laid the foundation for a progressive India,” said the filmmaker Sandeep Singh. “Being a filmmaker, I believe that cinema is the best way to share such untold tales that will reveal not only his political ideologies but also his humane and poetic sides, which helped him become India’s most beloved “leader of the opposition” and its most progressive politician” added the filmmaker.

The makers are looking for the actor to portray the role of Atal ji, and will soon announce the actor and director of the film.

‘Atal’ is presented by Bhanushali Studios Limited and Legend Studios, and is produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Sandeep Singh, Sam Khan, Kamlesh Bhanushali, and Vishal Gurnani, and co-produced by Juhi Parekh Mehta, Zeeshan Ahmad, and Shivv Sharma.

Scheduled to go on floors in early 2023, the film will be released on Christmas 2023, which marks the 99^th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji.
