"He made powerful decisions for the welfare of the Hindus and Marathias, but, within him, there was a great artiste and cartoonist," says Jogi, who penned the title track, Aaya Re Thackeray, for the film.
Having interacted with the politician on multiple occasions, Jogi says, "I would open his speech sessions with my poems. He would listen to them, appreciate them and quote lines in his speech. I've known him well, and that made the process of writing this song easy."
