'Chakravyuh' will benefit from 'Satyagraha' hype: Prakash Jha
Prakash Jha is hoping that the hype surrounding his just-announced Amitabh Bachchan-Kareena Kapoor starrer 'Satyagraha' will benefit the release of his upcoming film 'Chakravyuh'.
'Satyagraha' is based on the raging issue of corruption in the country while ' Chakravyuh' seeks to explore the Naxal problem.
"There is a lot of buzz about 'Chakravyuh' and the film might benefit from the hype surrounding 'Satyagraha'. It was important to announce the new film at this point as I am planning to begin shooting it in a few months. ' Satyagraha' is slated for an August 15 release next year," Jha told .
'Chakravyuh', starring Arjun Rampal and Abhay Deol, is set to release on October 24. Jha, 60, says the film is a strong, emotional story in the backdrop of the Naxal problem."The problem is only increasing, from the forest it is spilling onto our industrial and agricultural area. A lot of people are getting attracted to this ideology. I feel it was high time that there was an effort at understanding the issue and starting the process of a solution through social and political means.
"A lot of people in the society don't know much about this problem. There is an alienation as well, if you go to a Naxal area you will realise they are living in a different world altogether. It's high time we came up with a solution."
