In the wake of the release of movies depicting the lives of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray and the late Anand Dighe, which were well-received, a film that revolves around Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and his party, is in the works.
Thackeray’s utterance ‘Lava re to video’, which he would say before screening clips while holding rallies ahead of the 2019 general election, gained popularity, becoming a catchphrase of his at one point in time. Taking a cue from the same, Thackeray is now trying to reach every household through the power of cinema. Sources from the MNS said Shivtirth, the residence of MNS chief at Shivaji Park in Dadar, was taken over by a film crew, huge lights, vanity vans and generators last week. A source claimed that a part of the project was shot at Shivtirth for the past few days.
