Joshi who has played the lead ‘Chanakya’ in a play that been in theatres since 1990 has studied Shah’s life to understand him and essay his character for the reel. Speaking on the same, he said, "Playing the character of Chanakya over the years has given me an in-depth understanding of politics and Chanakya-niti as it's called. I have observed Shri Amit Shah ji for a very long time. Met him twice and have tried to absorb his personality. I have also heard that there is a photo of Chanakya in his office." 

We are excited for this film to roll out.

Meanwhile, Joshi has been a part of the film industry for a long time and has been a part of several blockbusters including ‘Golmaal’, ‘Vivah’, ‘Guru’, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’ and most recently ‘Judwaa 2’.
