Filmmaker Prakash Jha is all set to tap into his acting skills once again with Amar Aaj Marega. The Rajat Kariya-directed film was recently premiered at the International Film Festival of India, Goa. On the sidelines of the event, Jha spoke exclusively to India Today Digital, sharing insights into his acting journey and providing updates on the sequels to his popular films Raajneeti and Gangaajal.
Prakash Jha shared that there’s a different kind of excitement when promoting his films as an actor. He added that, fortunately, he manages to keep both roles separate. "When I am on set as an actor, my only focus is on performing in front of the camera. I am working for someone else's vision. I never want to complicate things by interfering in a director's job. I have definitely started enjoying acting and am on the lookout for something that can challenge me and is pivotal to the film. I am reading a few scripts and hope to announce something soon," he shared.
With the recent trend of films being re-released in cinemas, we asked the filmmaker if he had any projects in mind to bring back to theatres. "Actually, no. All my films have been watched multiple times by my audience. I meet people who say they have watched Gangaajal 40-50 times, so I don’t really think there's any need to release it in theatres again," he mentioned.
When asked about the update on the sequel of his films, Prakash Jha said, "We are working on Raajneeti 2, the script is being written. We are also working on the Gangaajal sequel, work is in progress on its script too. The police-society dynamics always have issues, and that makes for a good film. While we do make films for entertainment, it sometimes does leave an impact on the people, and that's quite a great thing." Read More
