She said, “A special show will be organised at the residence of Mulayam Singh Yadav where the SP patron will watch the movie. A show will also be organised for the Samajwadi Party workers.”

Amyth Sethi, who plays Mulayam in the biopic, said, “It was not easy to copy the mannerisms of Mulayam, his style of walking and the way he speaks. I watched his old files to copy his mannerisms.”

Another powerful character is that of Shivpal Singh Yadav, which is played by Mimoh, son of filmstar Mithun Chakraborty.

Prakash Balbeto has played the role of Ram Manohar Lohia and Govind Namdeo appears as Chaudhary Charan Singh.
