Bal Thackeray’s Biopic: Akshay Kumar To Play The Lead

The 48-year-old actor, Akshay Kumar, has recently been acknowledged for his notable work in ‘Rustom’. As per the latest rumours, he will be playing Bal Thackeray in his next project. Bal Thackeray was an Indian politician who founded the Shiv Sena, a right-wing Marathi ethnocentric party dynamic mainly in the western state of Maharashtra.

During a media interaction of his film ‘Rustom’, he was asked if he would really play the role of Bal Thackeray in his next, for which Akshay replied, “I don’t know whether I suit the character first of all, whoever makes it will have to first think if I suit the character or not.” When asked which actor he feels will be suitable, he said, “I don’t know about it. Rather people should think about it, because it is not a small personality, it’s a big personality that you’re talking about. So I cannot answer it like this.”

Akshay also added, “I think biopics have been picked up by audience in a good way and it’s great that biopic is about a great person’s story which comes in front of the audience and they would love to see how they became great, so it’s good to make biopics. Biopics work for India, so it’s good that India is making it.” Bal Thackeray’s grandson Rahul and his daughter-in-law Smita are currently in the process of making a biopic on the life of the late leader and reportedly, they have considered Akshay Kumar to play the lead.
