Fifteen years ago today, Prakash Jha’s Raajneeti stormed into cinemas, quickly solidifying its place as a landmark film. Its compelling narrative, an ensemble of celebrated actors, and evocative music combined to create a cinematic experience that resonated deeply with audiences.
The 2010 political drama is frequently interpreted as a modern retelling of the epic Mahabharata, with Ranbir Kapoor embodying the reluctant Arjun, Ajay Devgn the anguished Karna, Nana Patekar the sagacious Krishna, Katrina Kaif the wronged Draupadi, Arjun Rampal the benevolent Bhima, Manoj Bajpayee the formidable Duryodhana, Sarah Thompson as Subhadra, and Naseeruddin Shah portraying a conflicted divine figure.
As Raajneeti marks this significant anniversary, Prakash Jha shared exciting news with Hindustan Times, confirming that a sequel is indeed in the works. The filmmaker divulged, “Raajneeti (politics) ki yatra toh anvarat (constant) hai, chalti hi rehti hai!
There’s always been a plan for Raajneeti 2. While there is nothing concrete in terms of casting and shooting yet, I am currently working on it.” This revelation suggests that the intricate world of power, ambition, and consequence depicted in Raajneeti will soon be explored once more.
Are you excited for the second part of Raajneeti?
