Bhopal made 'Satyagraha' possible: Big B

Praising the people of the city, Megastar Amitabh Bachchan said that without co-operation of the Bhopalites, shooting of 'Satyagrah' would not have been possible.     

 

"The work on 'Satyagraha' has been arduous and long and not without its moments of great emotion. The presence of hundreds on the set has been incredible…to have pulled off most of the important scenes with their co-operative presence has been great credit to the people of Bhopal, who really must be given huge appreciation for being such a disciplined lot. Really ! Without them and their regard for the visitor, this shoot would not have been possible," the Bollywood superstar wrote on his blog.

 

In his fight against corruption, Big B's character in the upcoming political saga 'Satyagraha', decides to fast a la real life social activist Anna Hazare.

 

"The moments though of voluntary fast for achieving the attention of rightful demand, in peace, has been a destructive weapon, without any shed of blood or violence nor any physical retaliation to the oppressor. This is what Mahatma Gandhi taught us, and this is what made us gain our independence from British Colonial Raj," said the 72-year-old actor.

Satyagrah is going to be released on August 15.
