Ironical that the politician who abhorred muslims is being emulated by a muslim actor so many years after his tyrannical rule #Thackeray

So far the makers have been completely unbiased in showing the ugly face of Maharashtra that detested the South-North Indians #Thackeray

Political biopics are made with an agenda to lionise the politicians. Lets see if #Thackeray manages to strike the right balance.
