The show’s Producer, Aarrav Jindal of Euphoria Productions, added, “Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a luminary of eloquence and wit, imprinted an enduring legacy on Indian politics. Fusing political acumen, personal charm, and unwavering commitment to national welfare, he stands tall as a revered leader in India’s history. Vajpayee reshaped the political canvas, aligning it seamlessly with our cultural roots. A statesman fostering economic growth, he bridged diverse factions, earning admiration across people. His decisions propelled India’s global ascent, embodying profound wisdom and foresight. Vajpayee’s inclusive leadership, promoting progress and unity, remains an everlasting inspiration, transcending political boundaries. Our show, ‘Atal’, seeks to kindle today’s generation with his timeless legacy and charismatic persona, unveiling his untold childhood narrative.”

Shanti Bhushan, Writer of ‘Atal’ show,shared, “Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee reshaped Indian politics, infusing it with a fresh perspective rooted in our cultural heritage. His deep connection to Indian values and traditions gave mainstream politics a distinct identity. Vajpayee’s political legacy, built on pride, love for the country, and patriotism, laid the foundation for a united India. In today’s globalised world, preserving our identity and nationalism is a crucial challenge. Our show, Atal, aims to inspire today’s generation, providing a platform to nurture ideas that uphold our country’s pride on the world stage. Vajpayee’s life story is a compelling narrative, guiding today’s youth to contribute globally to India’s cultural vibrancy and significance.”

Talking about his role as Young Atal, Vyom Thakkar commented, “I am very excited and equally thankful to depict Young Atal’s role. I had only heard about him in our history books and from my parents, but I never imagined that someday I would portray his childhood role in a television show!” Sharing details on Krishna Devi Vajpayee’s role, Neha Joshi commented, “I am honoured to portray the significant role of Krishna Devi, Atal’s mother. Despite Krishna Devi’s profound passion for history and politics, she gracefully transitioned into a devoted supporter of her husband, Vajpayee Ji. Her life’s mission is to maintain harmony within her family, standing firmly behind her husband’s choices. With a rock-solid resolve and deep religious conviction, she silently opposes British colonial rule, fervently desiring India’s liberation. Krishna Devi is the foundation that shapes her son, Atal. She instils in him her unyielding vision and a natural inclination to question the status quo. She may not vocalise her views to the world, but she embodies a genuine desire to see her beloved country, India, break free. Her unyielding commitment to her family, unspoken defiance against colonial oppression, and influential role in shaping her son’s destiny make Krishna an exceptional character.” 

On Krishna Bihari Vajpayee’s role, Ashutosh Kulkarni commented, “It is a proud moment for me to portray young Atal’s father on screen. In 1930, Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, a devout educator and nationalist, led a Brahmin household with four sons and three daughters. A devoted nationalist, Krishna Bihari firmly believes in the permanence of British rule in India, advocating for cooperation and respect towards the colonial powers. His aspirations for his family are deeply rooted in education, emphasising the mastery of English, academic excellence, and the pursuit of government employment.”

Tune in to watch ‘Atal’, premiering on Dec 5th at 8:00 pm only on &TV!
