Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray surely doesn't want to get into any controversy as he recently refused to suggest the name of any actor, who could play his grandfather Bal Thackeray's role in the upcoming biopic.

The 25-year-old Shiv Sena chairperson, who was interacting with the media at the graduation ceremony of a Self-Defence College in Mumbai, said there was no one presently in his mind for the role and added that he didn't want to put the movie in any issue with his suggestions.

Aditya, who was joined by the starcast of 'Brothers' including Akshay Kumar, also downplayed media suggestions that Khiladi Kumar would fit in the role and said that it was for the filmmakers to take a final call in this regard.

The Shiv Sena leader also shared that he wasn't sure about the movie, which will be produced by late Thackeray's daughter-in-law Smita Thackeray. He said that he couldn't comment on it as he has not yet read the script.

The movie will supposedly release on January 26, 2017, i.e. close to Bal Thackeray's birthday on January 20.
