The who’s-who of politics and showbiz world would attend the performance. Says Shatru, “I had enjoyed my brief stint on stage. And I had hoped to be back.

Apparently, his daughter Sonakshi convinced him to return to stage. “It’s tough. The two mediums of cinema and theatre are very different from one another. But I am up to it,” ends the parliamentarian-actor famous for his oratorial skills.
