Prakash Jha talks about Rajneeti, its muti-star cast, working with Ajay Devgan and directing stars like Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor, in a candid chat with us only on Zoom.

Jha, whose earlier movies Gangajali and Apaharan were set in Bihar, denies Rajneeti is reflective of the state’s politics. The movie, a political drama, has been inspired from Mahabharata. The ace director also clears the air about Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s characters being based on Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. “The movie has no connection with any person living or dead, or any past incidents.”

Besides Ranbir and Katrina, the movie also stars Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai and Ajay Devgan. When asked whether he had trouble managing the stars, Jha reveals all the actors were committed and competitive.

In fact managing 7000 people in a crowd scene was a phenomenal task. “It involved over nine months work,” he says. A candid chat with Prakash Jha, is here only in this video.
