Filmmaker Prakash Jha, who has a deep connection with Bhopal, as his earlier films Gangaajal (2003), Apaharan (2005), Raajneeti (2010), Aarakshan (2011) and Chakravyuh (2012), were shot there, has chosen the city to promote his upcoming film Satyagraha.

This is the first time he has decided to promote his film in the city and is making sure that all his promotional events start in Bhopal first. The maker is so used to shooting in the city, that now he considers himself as a local.

The 2013 political thriller film, that will release on August 15, will star Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai in the lead.
