“I am making a film titled ‘Satsang’. It is about religion… I am gearing for it, writing, setting it up. It’ll take a little more time. It will go on floor next year. I can’t talk anything more about it,” Jha told PTI. The filmmaker, whose last project was “Jai Gangaajal” starring Priyanka Chopra, says he cannot make a film that is not rooted in reality.
“I primarily make a film to entertain and I try to engage the audience with a compelling story. If the backdrop is realistic, it’s fun. I find stories rooted in reality exciting.” Jha, however, is aware that setting a film against a realistic backdrop often leads to controversies.
“It is difficult to make a film without offending anyone. You can’t name a party, an ideology, you can’t do anything. Somehow I negotiate and make films, despite that there are fights. We try to say what we want but we have to also keep in mind the limitations of the society,” he says.
