Development

Movie director Shashank Udapurkar, addressed the media that he has received a formal consent from Anna Hazare for making a biopic on the anti-corruption activist, in April 2014.[1]

"It took me long to complete the script on Anna. I had drafted seven scripts before finalising it, since it is a mammoth task to present 75 years of his life in a two and half hour film "

—Shashank Udapurkar, Director.[1]

Promotion

Anna Hazare himself promoted his biopic on The Kapil Sharma Show.[2]
