We
have
all
seen
actress
Amrita
Rao
in
docile
roles
but
this
time
she
is
going
to
surprise
us
all
with
her
rebellious
role
in
Satyagraha.
Even
though
the
actress
is
happy
with
her
performance
in
her
previous
films
like
Ishq
Vishk,
Vivah
and
Welcome
to
Sajjanpur,
Amrita
is
is
particularly
proud
of
her
performance
in
Prakash
Jha's
Satyagraha
where
she
is
Amitabh
Bachchan's
daughter-in-law.
The
32-year-old
felt
like
this
role
was
a
privilege
for
her.
"I
have
done
a
lot
of
films
which
I
am
happy
about
but
this
one,
I
am
proud
of.
As
an
actress
it
is
a
privilege
to
play
someone
representing
the
youth
of
our
country.
It
is
such
a
sensitive
subject.
It
almost
felt
like
I
was
living
the
angst
of
the
youth," said
Amrita.
The
movie
is
inspired
from
current
situations
and
depicts
a
democracy
that
is
not
functioning
well.
"There
were
moments
while
shooting,
where
everyone
felt
frustrated
seeing
what
is
happening
in
our
nation
today,"
the
actress
explained.
Amrita
describes
her
character
in
Satyagraha
as
a
morally
upright
and
strong
girl
from
a
small
town
who
represents
the
'aam
aadmi'.
"Sumitra
Anand
comes
from
a
small
town,
educated
family.
She
symbolises
the
aam
aadmi
who
faces
so
many
obstacles
in
day-to-day
working.
There
is
so
much
corruption
on
so
many
levels
of
democracy
that
the
common
man
is
deprived
of
the
basic
rights.
In
the
fight
against
all
of
this
she
become
a
part
of
Satyagraha,"
Amrita
said.
The
actress
is
glad
that
she
got
an
opportunity
to
work
with
Prakash
Jha.
"Jhaji
has
always
made
films
with
a
light
of
reality
and
the
audience
has
always
accepted
it.
It
was
an
overwhelming
film
to
work
in,"
she
added.

Story
Satyagraha
deals
with
the
uprising
of
the
middle

corrupt

unjust
system.
This
leads
to
a
movement
movement
of
the
middle
class
against
corruption.
The
film's

'Democracy
under
fire'.

Amrita
In
Satyagraha
Amrita
Rao
plays
Bachchan's
daughter-in-law
in
Satyagraha.
She
says
that
the
film
tries
to
portray
India's
reality
today
and
shooting
for
it
was
quite
emotional.
Satyagraha
Not
Based
On
A
True
Story
Earlier
Prakash
Jha
had
denied
all
reports
that
said
Satyagraha
was
based
on
Anna
Hazare
movement
or
the
Nirbhaya
case.
Now,
we
have
Amrita
talking
on
the
same
issue.
"Cinema
is
a
platform
open
to
all
kind
of
views
and
it
is
very
unrealistic
to
think
that
everyone
can
be
happy.
Such
a
historic
event
happened
recently
so
it
will
be
foolish
to
think
that
one
will
enact
it
on
stage.
The
movie
is
not
about
Anna
Hazare
or
Arvind
Kejrival.
It
is
about
any
issue
that
can
be
taken
to
streets,"
she
said.

"I
want
to
explore
new
kind
of
roles.
In
Jolly
LLB
also
the
role
was
a
little
outgoing
and
wacky.
I
hope
directors
start
taking
notice
of
this
and
offer
me
different
roles,"
she
expressed.
