director Prakash Jha

To play an anti-corruption crusader on an indefinite strike to protest against scams and corruption, the Big B Amitabh Bachchan has gone an actual near-starvation diet so that the scenes in the film appear authentic. Sources from location in Bhopal say the Big B has ceased to even communicate beyond what’s necessary. However on Wednesday there was an unexpected break in the Big B’s hunger-strike regime for <em>Satyagrah</em> when director Prakash Jha turned 61.
