The
first
look
of
Prakash
Jha's
Aarakshan,
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Deepika
Padukone,
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Manoj
Bajpayee
and
Prateik
Babbar,
has
been
revealed.
Jha
had
a
unique
way
to
launch
the
first
look.
By
uploading
5
different
posters
of
the
film,
the
director
asked
the
audience
to
decide
on
the
favorite
poster
for
Aarakshan.
Though
all
the
posters
were
quite
similar
with
minor
changes
here
and
there,
Prakash's
main
aim
of
conversing
with
people
was
achieved.
Aarakshan
is
a
story
of
Prabhakar
Anand
(Amitabh
Bachchan),
who
has
his
own
idealistic
principles
for
a
college,
which
is
one
of
the
state"s
best.
The
story
is
about
love,
friendship,
life
and
future
dreams.
Saif
plays
the
role
of
a
loyal
disciple,
Deepak
Kumar,
who
falls
in
love
with
Prabhakar"s
daughter,
Poorbi
(Deepika
Padukone).
Sushant
(Prateik
Babbar)
is
an
ardent
friend
to
Deepak.
The
film
centers
one
of
the
most
controversial
issues
in
the
recent
years,
Supreme
Court"s
order
on
reservations.
Aarakshan
promises
drama,
conflict,
rebellion,
love,
friendship
and
loyalty.
The
film
is
slated
for
an
August
12
release.
