Special screening of 'Satyagraha' for Anna Hazare team?

A report claiming that Prakash Jha's forthcoming movie "Satyagraha" is inspired by Anna Hazare's movement seems to have made the members of the social activist's team curious who are said to have placed a request to watch the political drama.

"We have our eyes on 'Satyagraha' no matter what the director says. We know that the film is inspired by the Anna' movement and that Amitabh Bachchan is playing Anna. We just want to ensure that Anna or the movement is not being criticised," told a source.

The trailer of the movie urges people to stand up for their rights.

When contacted Jha, he told, "I am not being judgemental about Anna or the movement. 'Satyagraha' is inspired by facts, but it's a fictional take. The film is not about Anna Hazare or his movement. If a direct request from Anna comes to us, we will look into it."

"Satyagraha", which features a host of good actors - from Amitabh, Ajay Devgn and Manoj Bajpayee to Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Amrita Rao - is slated for an Aug 30 release. 

1,500 Bhopal residents on Jha’s 'Satyagraha'!

Forthcoming movie "Satyagraha" will see as many as 1,500 Bhopal residents in the movie and director Prakash Jha tells a two-month special workshop was held to train them. 

"Yes, we held workshops for the locals for about two months. These acting workshops were necessary. I'm really happy with how they have been contributing to my 'Satyagraha'. It's fantastic to see their energy and enthusiasm for the film," told Jha, who previously shot "Raajneeti" and "Aarakshan" in the city.
