New Delhi: He has a knack for making political thrillers and with his next film Satyagraha, coming out on Friday, director Prakash Jha will focus on the common man and highlight his aggression, struggle and demand for justice.
If the promos are anything to go by, there will be intense performances by the ensemble cast led by Amitabh Bachchan. Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Amrita Rao and Manoj Bajpayee also feature in the movie, which will be the solo Bollywood release this Friday, giving the political thriller an edge at the box office.
The trailer of the movie gives an insight to the plot, which revolves around the character of Big B, who goes on indefinite hunger strike in the Gandhian way to demand justice.
The scenes might remind the audience of the 2011 incident when social activist Anna Hazare went on a similar strike against the government. However, Jha has denied that Big B’s character is modelled on Hazare.
In an interview, he said, “The film is not based on Anna Hazare and has nothing to do with the movement. The entire process of ‘satyagraha’ comes from Gandhiji. Mr. Bachchan plays the role of a ‘satyagrahi’ who believes in truth.”
Primarily shot in Bhopal, Satyagraha has been produced by UTV Motion Pictures and it has reportedly been made on a budget of Rs.50 crore.
