Thackeray: This Nawazuddin Siddiqui Dialogue from the Film’s Trailer is Now a Viral Meme

You know you have got it right when you become a meme.

Within two days of its launch, the trailer of Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s forthcoming film Thackeray has already got 11.5 million YouTube views. Not just it, a dialogue from the trailer has sent the meme factory into an overdrive.

Though netizens are impressed with Nawaz getting the look and the feel of the late Shiv Sena supremo right, his dialogue “Ek sangahthan ki shuruwaat karni hogi (We will have to start a union)” has inspired several hilarious memes on social media.

Here are the best ones:

Shiv Sena’s current chief and Bal Thackeray’s son Uddhav Thackeray attended the trailer launch with his wife Rashmi. Directed by Abhijit Panse, and written and produced by senior party leader Sanjay Raut, the film will release on January 25. It also stars Amrita Rao as Bal Thackeray's wife Meenatai.

Hours before the trailer launch on Wednesday, the biopic ran into censor trouble. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has objected to three dialogues in the film, including those related to South Indians and the Babri Masjid.

However, Raut has decided to not let it affect the film’s progress. "We are in the process of complying with the Censor Board's instructions. But Balasaheb's statements had always been controversial. His style of speaking was such," Raut told News18.
