Biopic on Bal Thackeray
There are reports that a number of filmmakers have been sounded out
about the possibility of making a biopic on Balasaheb Thackeray. However,
one name that keeps recurring is Mahesh Manjrekar. For various reasons
he is seen as the perfect candidate.
Says a source, “The family’s supporters are keen on a biopic. There are several filmmakers
who have expressed a desire. But they are looking at a director who has observed the man
closely, understands his politics and is preferably a Marathi. Mahesh fits the bill.” When
contacted, Mahesh says, “I have received the offer to direct a film on Balasaheb. But I’ve
nothing to do with politics and would like to stay as far away from it as possible.”
Enough said, as far as Mahesh is concerned. But whether the director finally gives in to
popular demand remains to be seen. A friend of the director lets slip that Mahesh has
not given up the idea. “He is still open to the idea and may make it with his favourite actor
Sachin Khedeker,” says the frien
