The announcement of a film about our three-time Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, left people curious, with a question about who would play the lead role. Today, we have the answer, and it's none other than the talented and versatile Pankaj Tripathi, who will take charge in the lead role in Atal.
Speaking about playing Atalji, Pankaj Tripathi expressed, "It's my honour to portray such a humane politician on screen. He was not just a politician but so much more; he was an excellent writer and a renowned poet. Getting to be in his shoes is nothing but a privilege for an actor like me."Director Ravi Jadhav mentioned, "For me as a director, I couldn’t have asked for a better story than that of Atalji. On top of this, having an exemplary actor like Pankaj Tripathi bring Atalji’s story to screen and the support of the producers. I hope that I can live up to people’s expectations with ATAL."
Producer Vinod Bhanushali shared, "Unanimously, we all had imagined Pankaj Tripathi playing Atalji since we began discussing the film. We are delighted to have one of India’s finest actors playing the part. We also have an exceptional director, Ravi ji, on board, who we are sure will bring the story of our exemplary leader beautifully."
