Prakash Jha’s 'Satyagraha' is a sequel to his superhit 'Raajneeti'. The filmmaker told us, “Raajneeti was a family drama about betrayal. 'Satyagraha' is based on the conflict between a father and son, against the backdrop of the political manoeuvring by Manoj Bajpayee’s character. It’s about modern-day politics and protests.” Jha further revealed that
Satyagraha, much like
Raajneeti, is about a sense of betrayal, family drama, personal conflicts, egos and modern-day political texture.
Said he, “It’s a modern-day rajneeti.”
We have also learnt that Jha’s next will be a sequel to
Satyagraha and will be more about conventional politics. We will have to wait and watch to see how that one pans out.
Satyagraha, produced by Prakash Jha Productions and UTV Motion Pictures, releases on August 30.
