Pankaj Tripathi on playing Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Here is my interview with the endearing Pankaj Tripathi, who plays the role of India's late Prime Minister, poet and statesman Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The film titled 'Mai Atal Hoon,' follows the extraordinary life and political journey of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, an iconic figure in Indian politics and delves into his multifaceted persona capturing his essence as a poet, a gentleman, and a statesman. The film directed by Ravi Jadhav and co written by Jadhav and Rishi Virmani stars, Benedict Garrett, Harshal Gire, Rajesh Dubeay, Harshad Kumar, Krishna Saajnani, Madhu Singh and Lovekkush Kundu. It releases on 19th January.
Former members of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, formed the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980, with Vajpayee its first president. During his tenure as PM, India he carried out the Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, sought to improve diplomatic relations with Pakistan, travelling to Lahore by bus to meet with Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif. After the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan, he sought to restore relations through engagement with President Pervez Musharraf, inviting him to India for a summit at Agra. During his tenure, India's security was threatened by a number of violent incidents including 2001 Indian Parliament attack and 2002 Gujarat riots.
The administration of Narendra Modi declared in 2014 that Vajpayee's birthday, 25 December, would be marked as Good Governance Day. In 2015, he was conferred India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, by the president of India, Pranab Mukherjee.
