Filmmaker Mani Shankar’s plans of a feature film on L K Advani have been pending mainly because of the director’s inability to find the correct actor for the part. So for now Mani has opted for the next best alternative. He is all set to make a documentary on the BJP leader who in many ways defines the fast-evaporating breed of self-disciplined politicians. The documentary will be based on the footage that Mani will shoot for a week with Advani beginning on 7 November which is the eve of Advani’s 85th birthday.
