Main ATAL Hoon Trailer 2: Brilliant Sum up – More than a poet. More than a statesman’
A compelling line in the Main ATAL Hoon trailer reads, ‘More than a poet. More than a statesman. More than a Prime Minister,’ emphasizing the multifaceted persona of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Pankaj Tripathi’s portrayal captures the essence of Vajpayee, who, in a scene, reflects on the power of public perception, stating that people believe what they see.
The narrative unfolds further, depicting Vajpayee grappling with criticism and violence, particularly in the context of Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, who had a brief association with the RSS, of which Vajpayee was also a member for a short period.

A glimpse into the aftermath of the Babri Masjid destruction reveals Vajpayee’s decision to launch a bus service between India and Pakistan. The trailer concludes with a focus on Vajpayee’s pivotal role during the Kargil War.
