Pankaj Tripathi visits Atal Setu with school kids ahead of Main Atal Hoon release; watch

In anticipation of the release of Main Atal Hoon on January 19, Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi, the lead actor in the film, took a promotional journey by visiting India's longest sea-bridge, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, also known as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link. The 22-km-long sea link holds significance as it was named after the former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whose biopic Pankaj is portraying in the film.

In a video shared from Atal Setu, Pankaj Tripathi shared that he had the pleasure of traveling on a bus with kids from Atal Bihari Vajpayee's alma mater. Expressing his excitement, Pankaj mentioned that a new promotional video for Main Atal Hoon would be released soon, featuring these children. During the visit, school kids presented Pankaj with thoughtful gifts, including framed portraits of the film's poster.

The actor shared glimpses of the picturesque sea link through the bus windows. The Atal Setu, inaugurated on January 12 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, holds the distinction of being India's longest sea bridge. PM Modi, accompanied by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar, marked the occasion by becoming the first person to officially drive across the bridge, which elegantly connects Mumbai Isle with the mainland.

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track.
