Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, who was earlier caught up with the production of the movie Thackeray, said the actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui was the only choice to play the party's late supremo Bal Thackeray on the big screen.

Asked if any other actor apart from Nawazuddin was considered to play Bal Thackeray, Raut said: "No... Nawaz (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) was the only choice in front of me when I thought of making this film."

Directed by Abhijit Panse, the film will be shot in Hindi, Marathi, and dubbed in English. It is slated for release on January 23, 2019.
