Mumbai: Filmmaker Prakash Jha feels that India badly needs a modern Gandhi today in view of the prevailing corruption in every section of the society.
In his latest outing, Satyagraha, Jha focuses on the uprising of the middle class against a corrupt and unjust system. It is the story of a man who is a firm believer of Gandhian principles.
“My film Satyagraha is not inspired from Mahtama Gandhi or Anna Hazare. Gandhi was a great human being, a great leader, a great inspiration for the entire country and India badly needs a modern Gandhi today,” Jha said in an interview.
“Today the common man is not angry because of corruption in the country, he is angry because he is a victim of corruption. Things like death due to negligence or a common man fighting the system to get his pension are very common phenomena in our country. I have tried to highlight these issues in my film,” he said.
