Anna Hazare unveils poster of his biopic

Anna Hazare has launched the official poster for his biopic, Anna, directed by Shashank Udapurkar.

Udapurkar also plays the titular role, which actress Kajol’s younger sister Tanisha Mukherji will be playing a journalist.

The poster features Hazare waving to his supporters.

“At the age of 25, I had decided I will serve my country until my last breath. My age is 79 today but my determination is the same. Nothing is impossible,” Hazare told reporters at the launch in Mumbai.

“For the sake of the society and country, someone has to sacrifice his life. I chose not to get married and serve for the society. In a way, I don’t have a family but I have so many people who are my family,” he said.

Presented by The Rise Pictures Pvt Ltd and produced by Mahendra Jain, Anna also stars Govind Namdeo, Sharat Saxena and Kishor Kadam.

Hazare said the film also features incidents from his childhood.

When asked if Anna will have someone playing now Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was once Hazare’s associate, the activist said: “I don’t know. I haven’t seen the film yet. As it is there is nothing much between him and me.

“My road is of struggle and I will continue to follow that path for my country. I focus on my work,” he said.
