Aarakshan - The movie

Another movie aiming change!

Another movie for the realistic National Integration, a movie that foresee how the society can change to bring about the state of unity. This may be regarded as a dream but the movie 'Aarakshan' visualizes it.

Amitabh Bachchan plays the lead role in the movie and he is of the opinion that it is the Indian Film Industry where there is no Aarakshan or reservations based on class/community/religion. He continued that when you fall in queue for purchasing a ticket for a movie or when you enjoy a humor scene or cry for a sentiment shared by Hero, people dont look if it is a Hindu/Muslim/Christian that stands with you or enjoys the moment with you at the theater. He went ahead to say that this was the greatest example he could find of national integration!

The movie Aarkshan is directed by Prakash Jha and alongside Mr. Bachchan, there will be Saif Ali Khan, Manoj Bajpai, Deepika Padukone, Pratieik Babbar and Tanvi Azmi playing key roles in the movie. The movie discusses the removal of rules of discriminating people based on Religion, Caste and Community for jobs and educational institutions. 

 Amit ji also gave a sneak preview of his role in the movie and mentioned that he is playing a head of a private institution in this movie and keeps a principle that everyone should be treated equal. When this was not exercised in the school, he runs classes at home where he teaches students and treat them as equals. The movie finally shows that when given equal opportunities and classes every student is capable of shining bright.

Aarakshan is set to be released by August 12th, 2011
