Prakash Jha's Upcoming Film on Creative Freedom

It is said that Prakash Jha and controversies are made for each other. His movies, which show ugly face of our society, appear hard to digest by the so called social police. His recent movie Aarakshan had to face the same atrocity from these so called social monitors and therefore Aarakshan was banned in many states. However the film recieved clean chit after it was screened in front of government officials. Did we ever realize why a free country which on hand gives right to expression to its citizen but at the same time takes measures to curb the creative freedom of the very effective medium that is cinema. This is a matter to ponder and requires a debate.

Now Prakash Jha has decided to make a movie on the same topic that is Creative Freedom.  His first hand  experience of battling various organisations and state governments for the release of "Aarakshan" has inspired a script on the subject of creative freedom.

Prakash Jha says, "Why are we filmmakers constantly subjected to efforts to stifle our voices? I was provoked enough to go to the Supreme Court. A lot of filmmakers just succumb to pressure and make whatever adjustments are required of them. We shouldn't allow this to happen."

So its a good news for quality cinema audience that Prakash Jha is coming up with a movie to show mirror to the society and so called social monitors.
