National Award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's starrer Thackeray has hit the theaters today on January 25. The biopic, based on the life of the late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray, has perhaps been one of the most anticipated film this year. Now as the audience gears up to watch Thackeray's story unfold, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has shared a special message for his grandson Aditya Thackeray, who happens to be his friend.
In his Twitter post, the actor wished Aditya all the best as Thackeray hits the silver screens today as he further recalled the greatness and power the Shiv Sena leader exuded in his times.

For the unversed, Thackeray narrates Bal Thackeray’s journey and his political career as he established Shiv Sena – a Hindu right-wing Marathi ethnocentric party. Not to forget, the Shiv Sena supremo was immensely popular amongst his followers, particularly in Maharashtra as he espoused the rights of the Marathas in his state.
Directed by Abhijit Panse and written by Sanjay Raut, Thackeray co-stars Amrita Rao as Meena Tai Thackeray apart from featuring actors like Sudhir Mishra among others. The film is locking horns with Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which casts Kangana Ranaut as Rani Laxmibai.
