Director Abhijit Panse Leaves Thackeray’s Special Screening Without Watching The Movie
A special screening of Thackeray was organized on the occasion of Bal Thackeray’s birthday but the film’s director Abhijit Panse left the screening without watching the movie.
Thackeray
is
a
much
awaited
film
in
which
we
will
see
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
playing
the
role
of
Balasaheb
Thackeray,
with
Amrita
Rao
playing
the
role
of
his
wife,
Meenatai.
Directed
by
Abhijit
Panse,
and
produced
by
Viacom
18
Motion
Pictures,
Thackeray
will
release
today,
January
25th,
2019.
Yesterday,
a
special
screening
of
the
film
was
held
on
the
occasion
of
Bal
Thackeray's
birthday
which
was
attended
by
Nawaz
Siddiqui,
Amrita
Rao,
Rohit
Shetty
and
others.
But
as
per
Times
Now
reports,
Abhijit
left
without
watching
the
movie.
According
to
Times
Now,
Abhijit
Panse
left
the
screening
of
Thackeray
without
watching
the
movie.
He
reportedly
arrived
late
for
the
screening,
and
looked
disturbed.
Rumor
has
it
that
Abhijit
had
a
heated
argument
with
Sanjay
Raut,
the
film's
writer,
at
the
venue.
Also,
when
Abhijit
and
his
family
asked
for
better
seats
at
the
screening,
the
organizers
could
not
help
them.
A
Marathi
channel
apparently
asked
Sanjay
about
the
incident,
and
he
said,
"Abhijit
Panse
had
some
work
because
of
which
he
was
seen
leaving
the
cinema
hall."
But
the
MNS
Chitrapat
Sena
president
Ameya
Khopkar
tweeted
yesterday
saying,
"Abhijit,
they
behave
like
that.
This
is
their
culture.
But
the
audience
in
Maharashtra
is
behind
you." We
don't
know
who
exactly
Khopkar
is
referring
to
here.
Also,
#ISupportAbhijeetPanse
trend
was
started
on
Twitter
yesterday.
