Thackeray is a 2019 film directed by Abhijit Panse. The film was released simultaneously in Hindi and Marathi. Thackeray follows the life of Balasaheb Thackeray who was the founder of Indian political party Shiv Sena. There was a lot of buzz when the Balasaheb Thackeray biopic was announced. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was selected to essay the role of late political leader Balasaheb Thackeray and Amrita Rao was seen playing the role of his wife Meena Thackeray. Even before the film was released, there were reports about a sequel to the film that might be scheduled. Producer Sanjay Raut, in an interview with a news portal, stated that it would be difficult to capture the entire life of the late leader in just one film, which is why there could be a possible sequel to the film.
