Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Unveils 'Dharmaveer 2' Poster

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde unveiled the poster of 'Dharmaveer 2,' a Marathi movie sequel chronicling his political mentor Anand Dighe. The movie, set to release on August 9, includes a character inspired by Shinde. The first film, released in 2022, caused significant political waves and will immortalize Dighe's legacy.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday unveiled the poster of the eagerly anticipated Marathi movie sequel, 'Dharmaveer 2.' The film delves into the life of Shinde's political mentor, the late Shiv Sena stalwart Anand Dighe.

The original movie, which hit theaters in 2022, preceded Shinde's dramatic revolt against Uddhav Thackeray's leadership, leading to the fall of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in June. Dighe, who expired in 2001, is a legendary figure for the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena and is esteemed alongside party founder Bal Thackeray.

Set to release on August 9, mere months before the state assembly elections, 'Dharmaveer 2' features a character based on CM Shinde. Shinde expressed his admiration, stating, 'Dighe saheb will become immortal through the movie, and people will draw inspiration from him.' The first film, penned and directed by Pravin Tarde, showcased performances by actors Prasad Oak, Kshitish Date, Makarand Paddhye, Snehal Tarde, and Shruti Marathe.
