Main trailer for Atal Hoon: Pankaj Tripathi’s Atal Bihari Vajpayee promises to work with LK Advani to transform Indian politics

On Tuesday, the teaser for the biopic Main Atal Hoon, which is based on the life of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and stars Pankaj Tripathi as the former Indian Prime Minister, was released. With the message, “It’s time to witness the rise of India’s greatest visionary!” the National Award-winning actor posted the same image on social media.

In the teaser, Atal is heard saying to LK Advani, “A lotus has to bloom amidst this swamp of parties,” when they are talking about the condition of filthy national politics. Following then, the screen fades to depict lotuses, which are symbolic of the Bharatiya Janata Party, an electoral emblem that was established by both leaders in 1980. The announcement that the Main Atal Hoon trailer would debut on Wednesday, December 20, concludes the teaser.

Under the direction of National Award-winning filmmaker Ravi Jadhav, the planned biopic was originally scheduled to be released on Christmas Day, December 25, in honor of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s 99th birthday. However, the movie has been rescheduled, and it will now open in theaters on January 19, 2024.

The late politician was the first-ever leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to be appointed Prime Minister of the country. She headed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government from 1998 to 2004. He was prime minister twice, from 1998 until 2004 and once more for a short period in 1996.

Following a protracted illness, Vajpayee, a well-known national politician and one of the founding members of the Bharatiya Janata Party, passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on August 16, 2018. He was ninety-three. In 2015, the late leader received the Bharat Ratna award.
