'My Part Became Necessary To The Film Satyagraha' Says Arjun Rampal

Arjun Rampal has said that his new lead role in political drama Satyagraha developed from a small cameo.

The actor is once again working with Rajneeti and Chakravyuh director Prakash Jha in Satyagraha.

He told Press Trust of India: "[Prakash Jha] asked me if I do this part, as it is not ... a bigger role, but he needs this character. I told him even if you want me to say two lines in your film, I will surely do it.

"While writing the character, it became a full-fledged part. Jha realized this guy is going to be integral part of the screenplay. We need him as this is the character that influences. He is a youth leader who is ambitious.

"He is connected at grassroots level. He becomes the muscle power of this revolution. Prakash is a person who will deliver what he has promised. I don't have to worry about anything. One would like to work with directors who don't make you feel insecure at any point in time. "

Last year, Jha told Digital Spy that he loves making actors explore their roles before they start shooting.

He said: "My way of working with actors is very different [to other directors]. I work with them prior to going on set. I prepare them. I inform them. I encourage them to ask questions."

Rampal said last October that he wanted Chakravyuh to educate young people about terrorism.

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!
