MUMBAI: Prakash Jha’s next film Jai Gangaajal, starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead is all set to release worldwide on 4 March, 2016.

Jai Gangaajal is the sequel to Gangaajal, which featured Ajay Devgn as the police officer with a conscience. The movie told the story of how a society gets the police it deserves.

Thirteen years later, with Jai Gangaajal, Jha revisits the dusty heartland of North India, and examines again the society-police relationship to tell us a new story.

This time, Chopra will be playing Abha Mathur, the new SP in town, who will raise wrestle with her conscience. Mathur is posted in the district, because as a woman she will perhaps be pliable, easily manipulated and thus not disturb the entrenched nexus of the town.

“Much has changed in the last 13 years. When I made Gangaajal 13 years ago, the dictum was that every society gets police that it deserves. But the scenario has changed since then. Today the cops follow the dictum of inaction is virtue and efficiency is crime,” said Jha.

The movie also stars Manav Kaul, Rahul Bhat, Murli Sharma and Ninand Kamath.

Written and directed by Jha, Jai Gangaajal has been produced by Prakash Jha Productions and Play Entertainment.
