Understand scribes better after Satyagraha role: Kareena Kapoor

“I understood that journalism and journalists have a lot of responsibility playing this part. It is difficult. I do appreciate and respect them a lot more now after having put myself in their shoes in Satyagraha,” Kareen told reporters.

“My character is quite interesting. I play the voice of the whole movement. I believe today the media is the voice of the nation. We all depend on them for the right information,the truth,” she added.

Satyagraha also stars megastar Amitabh Bachchan,Ajay Devgn,Arjun Rampal,Manoj Bajpai and Amrita Rao.

Kareena,who was last seen on the big screen in Talaash opposite Aamir Khan,says Satyagraha as the name suggests reflects the uprising of the middle class against a corrupt and unjust system but in a very peaceful way.

“I think that Satyagraha is a protest for the truth in a very peaceful fashion. In this film,there is no violence,there are no deaths. We are just asking for what we want. There is nothing wrong to claim your rights,” the actress said.

Kareena Kapoor also said that her character despite being a hard headed reporter joins the movement in the film.

But when her ideologies clash with Ajay’s character,she distances herself from the movement.

“In the film I believe in what Amit ji’s character is doing. So my character kind of culminates the entire movement. She is the voice of the film,she has to let the common man know what is actually happening. After a while she does not believe in the movement anymore and she leaves it. So there is an entire transition to the character,” she said.

Satyagraha will hit theatres this Friday.
