Shiv Sena youth wing chief Aditya Thackeray Friday said it would be unfair to say that the upcoming biopic "Thackeray" on his late grandfather Balasaheb Thackeray is made for gaining any political mileage. Aditya said Bal Thackeray stayed away from elections so it was not fair to think that there was political benefit to achieve out of the movie.
"He was an ideology in himself in terms of where he started: from being a kid who couldn't pay his fees in school, to making sure so many people got education in the state, to having a voice not just for Maharashtra, where we contest elections, but across India, where we never contested elections." He further said, his grandfather went "beyond electoral politics". "To think there is political gain out of it, I don't think it is fair thing to say. Without having an issue in mind and be inspired and do everything with conviction is something everyone should do it. "It is an important year for India, it is make or break year for India. It is not just about politics but it is about having conviction about India and what the future has in store.
