Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has been one of the great leaders India had seen. Now a film on him, will soon be on the silver screen.
Filmmaker Sandeep Singh and producer Vinod Bhanushali have joined hands for this special project titled, ‘Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye- Atal’. The title is taken from Vajpayee’s famous line, ‘Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye’.
The film will be an adaptation of Penguin Random House India’s book “The Untold Vajpayee: politician and paradox” by author Ullekh NP.
The film will go on floors in 2023 and will hit the theatres next years on the occasion of Christmas, which marks the 99th birth anniversary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Sandeep Singh took to his Instagram and penned a long note and shared the motion poster of the film.
He wrote, “Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji was one of the greatest leaders of Indian history who won hearts of enemies with his words, who lead the nation affirmatively and created the blue print of progressive India. Being a filmmaker, I feel that cinema is the best medium to communicate such untold stories, that will unveil not only his political ideologies, but his humane and poetic aspects, that made him the most loved ” leader of opposition” as well as India’s most progressive Prime Minister.”
Singh continued, “‘Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye – Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee.’”
He added, “Presenting #ATAL, a film on the life story of India’s most exemplary leader, renowned poet, and a visionary.”
