What's in new Main Atal Hoon trailer
The trailer description read: ‘More than a poet. More than a statesman. More than a Prime Minister’.
The trailer opens with Pankaj Tripathi's Atal Bihari Vajpayee watching a film and telling his friend that the public believes what is shown to them. Next moment, Vajpayee is seen dealing with criticism and violence as a person talks about Mahatma Gandhi's killer, Nathuram Godse, having spent some days as part of the RSS, of which Vajpayee was also a part. He says that the RSS is declared communal by some and the word is spread that a Hindu party can be a danger for the country.

It is followed by a glimpse of late President Abdul Kalam who is seen congratulating Pankaj's Vajpayee for the successful Pokhran nuclear test.
