'Satyagrah' Will Influence The Youth; Says Kareena Kapoor!

Prakash Jha-directed 'Satyagrah' depicts the common man's reaction to the sorry state of affairs and shows their angst and disappointment with the system, said the actors featuring in the upcoming film

The film, which will hit the theatres in August, stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Manoj Bajpayee, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Amrita Rao. "We are living in an India where I think we deserve a better standard of living. 

I think Satyagrah is the ideal way for common man to show their angst and disappointment," Amrita told reporters here at the first trailer launch of the film. 

Amrita plays daughter-in-law of Big B. "A revolution...a movement happens in every part of the world when people are disappointed with the state of affair in their country," Manoj said. 

"It (satyagrah - a Gandhian method of agitation) is a peaceful way of revolution," Ajay said. Bachchan plays a man who is a firm believer in truth. He is like a new age Gandhi. "It (satyagrah) was started in Ireland several years ago. 

I believe truth always prevails," Big B said. Manoj plays a young politician who uses every means to break the system. He is the real threat to democracy. Ajay, a successful entrepreneur, represents shining India, while Kareena dons the role of a firebrand TV reporter.

"I am sure the film will influence the youth. I had great time doing the film," Kareena said. The film's promo gave the feel that 'Satyagrah' is inspired by the 2011 Anna Hazare movement. 

But Jha said film had nothing to do with Hazare and its about father-son relation. The trailer was launched globally. Ajay and Kareena were in London, while the rest of the team was present in Mumbai.

The First Official Teaser Of ‘Satyagraha’ That Demands A Change!

The first teaser trailer of Prakash Jha’s upcoming movie ‘Satyagraha – Democracy Under Fire’ has been released by UTV Motion Pictures.

The teaser in itself is enough to give viewers an insight into the powerful script and storyline. It starts with Kareena Kapoor – who will be playing an international journalist in the movie – giving a voiceover in the background and then continues to a slightly tweaked version of ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’.

All the main characters in the movie – Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Amrita Rao and Ajay Devgn – can be seen protesting against the corrupt system in the teaser.

The scenes show police attacking the public for protesting, which in turn gives rise to a stronger protest from the common man.

It ends with a powerful and anger-driven one-liner by Ajay Devgn “Ab sirf ek action hoga, public ka direct action.”

The political thriller – directed by Prakash Jha - reflects the uprising of the middle class against a corrupt and unjust system that leaves it with no option other than to challenge the prevailing system.

A dynamic and ambitious young man joins hands with an idealistic old man and he ignites a protest that soon turns into a massive movement to fight against the unjust system.

The movie if slated to release on August 15, 2013.

The movie seems to be an eye-opener of sorts. Here’s the teaser for you to judge!
