Prakash Jha: Not judgemental about Anna Hazare's movement

Denying reports that his forthcoming film Satyagraha has resemblance
to Anna Hazare's movement
against corruption, director Prakash Jha
said that he is not trying to be
judgemental about the social activist's
movement.

Jha also said that he drew inspiration for
the film from the mass protests around the
world.

According to reports, Anna's camp
members said the film has resemblances to
Anna's movement against corruption and
they have also pointed out resemblance
between real people and the characters in
the political thriller.

"Anna Hazare's movement mobilised
common people. In my film, the movement
and its logic is completely different. I'm
not trying to be judgemental about Anna
Hazare's movement, and I don't want
anyone to be judgemental about my film," Jha said in a statement.

"Any suspicion linking with Hazare's
movement is uncalled for. But there is
nothing I can do about that," he added.

The film, set to hit the screens on August
30, features Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay
Devgn and Kareena Kapoor in the lead
roles.
