Bihar chief minister watches 'kidnap' matinee
Dec 2, 2005 IANSBihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar viewed "Apaharan" with its director Prakash Jha at the Ashok Cinema Hall here.
"I am here to watch the film because I am a fan of Jha," he told reporters before entering the theatre.
He was also accompanied by several ministers and members of the Janata Dal-United and the Bharatiya Janata Party, said a security official of the theatre.
Sources close to Nitish Kumar said that just a few days ago, he had expressed his desire to watch the film, an inevitable choice perhaps in a state notorious for making kidnapping an industry.
The socially and politically relevant film, which follows Jha's "Mrityudand" and "Gangajal", was shot entirely on location. The film had a start-to-finish schedule and was completed in about 14 months.
The film revolves around Ajay Shastri, played by actor Ajay Devgan. He portrays a young man who dreams of becoming a police officer and making his father proud.
However, after he works hard to fulfil his dreams, he suffers a setback courtesy his self-righteous father, Raghuvansh Shastri, played by veteran actor Mohan Agashe.
