Big B's 'Satyagraha' faces water cannons and lathi charge (Watch pix)

Bhopal, Feb 26: The unforgettable Anna's Anshan's depiction in Prakash Jha's ‘Satyagraha' has reached to the stage where it faced water cannons and lath charge by the police forces. The shoot had Amitabh Bachchan at the helm of the protest, dressed almost like an ideologue -- a bespectacled man with black shawl and white kurta. For the shoot a protest very similar to the one seen in Delhi in December was recreated. “A revolt among the people for justice, for democratic right, lead by that bespeckled man with black shawl and white head gear in peace. But the system resorting to means which aggravate, which cause mayhem. Though the effort right till the end is one of tolerance but with a voice that needs to heard, despite brute force !!” Big B wrote on his blog and shared the pictures. The shooting had Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Ajay Devgn braving water cannons and other brute force of the ‘law-keepers' trying to break the protest. “Wet and hit by the force of water canons, yet determined to get the voice of the people to be heard!!” Big B wrote.
