While the movies on Dighe and Thackeray Sr are strictly based on their lives and achievements, it is said that the upcoming film is not exactly a biopic in a strict sense; the script revolves around Thackeray and his party. Last year, in June, Thackeray’s son Amit and popular Marathi actress Tejaswini Pandit formed Sahyadri Films LLP, whose office is located at Veera Desai, Andheri West.

On the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls, Thackeray accompanied by Amit met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi two weeks ago.  Shortly after this, the MNS chief convened a series of meetings convened in Mumbai. Yet, a BJP-MNS pre-poll alliance has not been announced and Thackeray is expected to make a significant announcement during his annual Gudi Padwa rally on April 9.

The MNS chief played an instrumental role in the making of the Bal Thackeray photobiography, which was published in 2005. Thackeray also did a voice-over for the teaser of the Marathi period epic Har Har Mahadev (2022). Many believe that Thackeray had taken a personal interest in the making of the 2014 action drama Lai Bhaari, which marks actor Riteish Deshmukh’s debut in Marathi cinema. The actor had even hosted a special screening of this movie for Thackeray.
