What most people missed at the MNS rally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa at Shivaji Park on April 9 was a film camera present on the stage. The rally was also as an opportunity to shoot visuals and dialogues for the movie on Raj Thackeray.

According to party sources, those involved in the production and direction of the movie utilised technology-driven cameras, lights, and drones to capture shots required for the film revolving around Raj and his party. A shooting camera was even present on the stage, used by the MNS chief to address the gathering. Last week, mid-day was the first to report about the estranged nephew of the late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, Raj, attempting to reach every household through the big screen—cinema.
