On Shiv Sena Foundation Day on Tuesday, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who essays the political party's late supremo Bal Thackeray in an upcoming biopic, says doing the movie is quite an experience. Nawazuddin moved dates and schedules to be a part of Thackeray.

"Balasaheb Thackeray was a transparent personality who empowered the common man and it is a lifetime experience essaying him," Nawazuddin said in a statement. The actor, along with Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut and Shrikant Bhasi, Founder and Chairman of Carnival Group, spent time on the sets of the Raut'ers Entertainment's movie on the eve of Shiv Sena Foundation Day.
