Bollywood actor Salman Khan launched the trailer for 'Dharmavir-2', a film depicting the life of Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe, who was Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's mentor. The film is set to release on August 9, just weeks before the state assembly polls. The first part, featuring actor Prasad Oak as Dighe, was released in 2022.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan unveiled the trailer for 'Dharmavir-2,' the second installment of the biographical film based on the late Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe, widely recognized as the political mentor of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, on Saturday.

The event, which coincided with an advance celebration of 'Guru Poornima,' saw CM Shinde paying homage to his political guru. The movie is slated for an August 9 release, strategically ahead of the state assembly elections.

The first film in the series, starring actor Prasad Oak as Dighe, premiered in 2022, around the time Shinde orchestrated a political rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray, eventually ascending to the role of chief minister by overthrowing the Thackeray-led coalition government.
