Mumbai: Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been roped in to play the role of late yet powerful Shiv Sena leader Balasaheb Thackeray.

Deccan Chronicle had exclusively revealed his look to our audiences, and now Nawaz visited Matoshree in order to begin prepping for the movie.

He was joined by Uddhav Thackeray, his son Aditya Thackeray, Sanjay Raut, all of whom posed with Balashabeh Thackeray’s photo frame in the background.

Sharing the image, Nawazuddin Siddiqui took to Twitter and wrote, “The prep work starts from the right place and with the right people @ Matoshree.

It was pleasure meeting @uddhavthackeray, ji @rautsanjay61, @AUThackeray and the blessings of Shri Balasaheb Thackeray.” Here it is:

An insider had exclusively told Deccan Chronicle earlier, "Nawazuddin is very much a part of the film, and he has also shot a teaser for it. The actor has also used prosthetics for few scenes of the film."
