Nawazuddin Siddiqui is basically a gift to Bollywood and mankind in general, as the mad genius in him chases perfection like no one else. 

His next movie is a biopic of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray and as usual, the actor has nailed the role with perfection. 

Watch the trailer to believe it for yourself.

Nawaz strikes an uncanny resemblance to Bal Thackeray in the trailer and looks fabulously convincing.  

The movie will trace the life story of Thackeray and present the insider story of how he became a massive political figure, who represented the people of Maharashtra with sheer determination. 

The actor himself has called it the 'toughest role' of his career

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has openly objected to three dialogues in the movie which is scripted by senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut but nothing has been confirmed yet. 

The movie also stars Amrita Rao and will hit theatres on 25th January 2019.
