Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who portrayed Bal Thackeray in the biopic 'Thackeray', said, "It was just about the life of a man, whose story we chronicled in two hours. When a film like this works, you feel happy." Nawazuddin added, "I was slightly nervous because unlike what we call 'content-driven films' which too now have five songs this wasn't the one."
