Abhijit Panse, director of the movie Thackeray, was filmed in conversation with Sanjay Raut, the writer and film producer, about the placement arrangements for him and his family at the film's premiere on Thursday. Panse was seen leaving the Bombay Theater after being placed in the front row of the screening – he wanted to sit in the back row.
The video shows Raut, a Shiv Sena leader, who allegedly persuaded Panse to stay behind. After a brief discussion, the director is seen leaving the room, accompanied by his family.
Mumbai Mirror reports that Panse arrived late for the first and that he was informed that only the seats in the first row were available. Panse, a member of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), left without watching the film.
According to NDTV, a MNS source said, "There was no room left for Panse. Then, he was offered a place in the first row. At least the director of the film should have a seat, right? "
Panse, in an interview as a result of the incident, told an information channel that" the film was more important than the controversy. Let the movie free itself. I'm glad it's gaining popularity … it's a good movie and everyone should see it. "
