Earlier, the play was to be staged from January 5 but it was postponed due to the rise in COVID-19 cases in the national capital.

Actor Ronit Roy will play the role of B R Ambedkar in a 100-ft arena having a 40-ft revolving stage, Kejriwal said.

”This will possibly be the biggest show in the world at such a scale,” he claimed.

The chief minister described himself as a ”bhakt (devotee)” of Ambedkar and said he worships him because he struggled all his life for the poor.

Tickets will be available for free but people will have to book them in advance due to the limited number of seats, Kejriwal said.
