Amitabh Bachchan is all set to enact Anna Hazare in his new movie titled “Satyagraha”. He is teaming up with Prakash Jha once again after “Aarakshan”. “Aarakshan” was based on the policy of “Caste based Reservations” on government jobs and educational institutions. So it seems the failure of “Aarakshan” to attract people has not put off Jha from taking the issue of corrupt system in India. Everyone knows what is the most sought after news in India right now thanks to Anna Hazare. So why not make a movie on the subject. And when you have got an actor as big as Mr. Senior Bachchan himself everything seems to be at the right place. Though Jha is reluctant and is rather cautious in revealing more on the movie and states he is still working on the script. He doesn’t want to reveal more on the movie and sources close to him indicates the movie is set to be on the floors by January 2012.

The film will address the issues of a peaceful mass protest against corruption but not on pan national level. The cast is yet to be finalized, but Mr. Bachchan is on this for sure. The veteran known as the “Angry Young Man” of Indian cinema could be seen on a different mood here as an ever patient and non-violent protestor. Prakash Jha didn’t hesitate to express his opinions on the present state of affairs and added that the current scenario that Anna has managed to make happen is remarkable. He however added, the fact that only a single opinion that is prevailing in the movement, could damage the noble purpose of the protest. Currently it’s a make or break situation that is you either have the Lok Pal bill passed or nothing at all. There has to be a less hardline approach to a matter as deep-rooted as corruption.

The film is supposed to create havoc and hence the director is very cautious on his approach to the script and is carefully weaving a perfect plot for the movie to click. And having Amitabhji in the movie to portray Anna is certainly a boost. Mr. Bachchan is always in the mix whether its politics or anything. So we might be well be looking forward to the most hyped movies of 2012 or even the most controversial. Only time could tell. For the time being lets hope the movie gets everything at the right place to happen.
