Amitabh Bachchan is the only choice to play the lead in biopic on Balasaheb Thackeray?

We had informed earlier that Smita Thackeray is planning to produce a movie on the life of late Balasaheb Thackeray, which will be directed by her son Rahul Thackeray and we have overheard that the makers are keen to have Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan play the lead role in the movie, which is titled Saheb.

  

Viewers may know that Thackeray and Bachchan shared a warm relationship and the latter had played a role inspired by Thackeray in Ram Gopal Varma's movie Sarkar. Unnecessary to say, we too feel that with his powerful screen presence and his effective voice, Bachchan would be the best actor to play the lead role in the movie based on the leader.

  

But, it is yet to be decided as to which actor would be signed up to play a younger Thackeray.

Lately, political party Shiv Sena celebrated its golden jubilee on the 19th of June, 2016. On this event, Smita Thackeray, who is also a film producer, disclosed that she will be producing a biopic titled Saheb on her late father-in-law and Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray.

The biopic will be directed by her elder son Rahul Thackeray and conveying her happiness at this, Smita Thackeray posted, “Balasaheb has always been an enigma and a legend for both his followers and his family. It is always an honor to be a part of his journey. I believe his life's story needs to be shared and I am glad that my son, Rahul, has taken up the challenge on making this biopic on his grandfather and my father-in-law, "Saheb".

The movie Saheb will be going on floor this year in October and will depict the life of the Balasaheb Thackeray. The cast of the film is yet to be been finalized but we are quite curious to see which actor will be signed up to play the Tiger.
