Pankaj Tripathi, in a recent conversation with news agency ANI, shed light on his preparation for the role, emphasizing the unique qualities of Atal Bihari Vajpayee that set him apart in Indian politics. He remarked, “After preparing and reading about Atal ji’s characteristics, you would not feel the same way about modern-day leaders,” adding that even staunch critics respected Vajpayee’s legislative etiquette.
The success of Main Atal Hoon at the box office, coupled with the critical acclaim for Pankaj Tripathi’s portrayal, positions the biopic as a compelling cinematic experience that resonates with audiences.
