For an actor like me, getting to walk in his footsteps is nothing but an honour.’ ‘As a director, I couldn’t have wished for a greater story than that of Atalji,’ said director Ravi Jadhav.

In 1996, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was elected prime minister of India. But because the BJP was unable to secure enough support from other parties to secure a majority, he was forced to step down within 13 days. For his second and third terms as prime minister of India, respectively, Vajpayee returned in 1998 and 1999. At the age of 93, Vajpayee passed away on August 16, 2018.
