Not judgemental about Anna Hazare's movement: Prakash Jha

New Delhi, July 22 (IANS) Denying reports that his forthcoming film "Satyagraha" has resemblance to Anna Hazare's movement against corruption, director Prakash Jha said that he is not trying to be judgemental about the social activist's movement.
