MUMBAI: Known to make films on current affairs, Prakash Jha is all set to roll out his next film, Chakravyuha,, about the Naxalite movement.

Since the veteran director has signed Abhishek Bachchan to play a Naxalite, the latter has been recommended to go through a host of Naxalite literature that would enable him to get into the skin of the character. Incidentally, for Mani Ratnam‘s Guru too, Bachchan had undertaken extensive research.

The shooting of the film will take place in Bhopal and in the jungles of Madhya Pradesh.

Meanwhile, Jha will also direct another film, Satyagrah, with Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgn. But the film has been delayed because of unavailability of Devgn‘s dates. Apparently, the film will now roll in the second-half of this year. Satyagrah deals with politics and corruption.

This is the first time in his career that Jha would be directing two films simultaneously.
